1951 Map of Oberlin
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Oberlin serves as the focal point of this 1951 topographic survey of Decatur County, situated at the confluence of Sappa Creek and the railroad lines of the CB&Q. The map reveals a post-war rural landscape organized around the Chicago Burlington and Quincy tracks, which connect small settlements like Traer and Cedar Bluffs. The distribution of School No 11, Mt Pleasant Sch, and Addleman Sch alongside numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as St Johns Ch and Fairview Cem, provides a detailed record of mid-century community life and genealogy.
