1946 Map of Nokomis

About this map

Nokomis and Coalton serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of the Illinois prairie. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural one-room schools, including Hazel Green Sch, Sassafras Sch, and Prosperity Sch, illustrating the dispersed educational infrastructure before consolidation. The Christian and Montgomery County line bisects the territory, where the Wabash and New York Central railroads dictate the placement of towns like Morrisonville and Witt. Significant local landmarks such as Mound Chapel and the Gopher Hills rise above the drainage systems of Bear Creek and Shoal Creek, while numerous cemeteries like Kettlecamp Cem and Antioch Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research in this agricultural heartland.
