1983 Map of Northwest Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac anchors the southeast corner of this Illinois prairie landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through the county seat past the Courthouse and Central Sch. The meandering Vermilion River dominates the central terrain, flowing northwesterly past Heisner Island and the local Fairground. Rural life in the townships of Amity and Esmen is marked by a network of family and community landmarks, including the Zooks Cem near the river and Esmen Ch to the northeast.
