1954 Map of Olaton

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Olaton and the surrounding hill country of Ohio County are defined by a complex network of waterways and the Illinois Central railroad. This mid-century landscape shows a community deeply tied to its geography, with the Rough River carving a winding path through the center of the sheet, crossed by the Barretts Ford Bridge. The distribution of small settlements like Shreve, Huff, and Davidson Sta indicates a rural economy supported by both rail transport and emerging energy extraction, as evidenced by several Oil Wells scattered across the ridges.
