USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for development between Oaktown and Emison in this 1941 survey. This transport network, along with the Pennsylvania line further south through Bruceville, supported the agricultural and extractive character of Knox County during the early war years. The landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including the Maria Creek Ch and a significant concentration of family burial grounds such as Ocheltree Cem, Bruceville Cem, and Threlkeld Cem.
