1937 Map of Orion
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The Illinois and Mississippi Canal cuts across the northern landscape of this 1937 survey, following the Green River through a region defined by intense agricultural development and early 20th-century transportation. The map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, notably the numerous country schoolhouses such as Osco Center Sch, Happy Corner Sch, and Town Hall Sch that served dispersed farming families. These schools, often named for local landmarks or sentiments, provide a fine-grained view of the township system in Western and Osco.
