USGS Topo · Published 1930About this map
The agricultural plains of McLean County are defined here by a dense grid of rural schoolhouses and rail-oriented settlements during the mid-1920s. Established towns like Normal, Lexington, and Towanda anchor the landscape, connected by the diagonal route of the Chicago and Alton railroad. This network reflects the era's decentralized education system, where dozens of locally-named institutions such as Little Red Sch, Frog Alley Sch, and Prairie College Sch served farming families within walking distance of their homesteads.
