1971 Map of Olney
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Olney serves as the focal point of this Richland County survey, showing a well-established regional hub where the Baltimore and Ohio and Illinois Central railroads intersect. The town's social and educational landscape is marked by the campus of Olney Central College and local institutions like Richland Sch and Cherry Street Sch. Numerous cemeteries, including Haven Hill Cem, St Joseph Cem, and Maple Dale Cem, provide significant data points for local genealogists. Beyond the urban center, the land transitions into a productive landscape dotted with Oil Wells and a scattering of smaller settlements like Calhoun. The hydrology of the region is defined by the Fox River and its tributaries, including Little Fox Creek and Big Creek, which weave through the agricultural and extraction fields of southeastern Illinois.
