1949 Map of Pana
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Pana serves as a major rail hub in this late 1940s survey, where five different lines including the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Illinois Central RR converge. This dense network of tracks highlights the town's industrial importance to the central Illinois prairie. The surrounding landscape is a detailed map of early midwestern rural life, peppered with one-room schoolhouses like Swamp Angel Sch and Durbin College Sch. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Potters Field near the Third Principal Meridian to Sacred Heart Cem in Oconee. Beyond the town centers of Owaneco and Rosamond, the land is drained by complex systems like the Main Drainage Ditch, supporting the agricultural character of the Christian, Shelby, and Montgomery county borders.
