1943 Map of Newton
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Embarrass River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between Jasper and Richland counties during the early 1940s. The regional economy is anchored by the Illinois Central railroad, which connects the hub of Newton to smaller outlying settlements like Ste Marie, West Liberty, and Willow Hill. This era reveals an incredibly dense network of rural infrastructure, where nearly every township section is served by its own local schoolhouse, such as Brush College Sch, Onion Prairie Sch, and Happy Hollow Sch.
