1971 Map of Orangeville
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Orangeville and McConnell anchor this northern Illinois landscape just below the Wisconsin State Line during the early 1970s. The region is defined by the winding course of the Pecatonica River and the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, which cuts through the heart of the terrain. The map reveals a deeply rooted agricultural and rural community, evidenced by the high density of country churches and burial grounds such as Richland Salem Church, Basswood Church, and Silent Hill Cemetery. Scattered quarries and gravel pits suggest local industry alongside the township divisions of Oneco, Waddams, and Buckeye. From the heights of Sanders Hill to the valley of Richland Creek, the survey documents the intricate network of section-line roads and small settlements like Buena Vista and Cedarville before later modernization.
