1947 Map of Paris
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The town of Paris serves as the focal point of this east-central Illinois landscape, where the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads intersect. Beyond the municipal limits, the 1940s landscape is densely peppered with neighborhood institutions, from the St Aloysius Ch and Ashland Chapel to a remarkable concentration of rural schoolhouses like Fort Sumter Sch, Grand Success Sch, and Mark Sch. The Old Indian Boundary Line cuts diagonally across the townships, a remnant of early frontier surveying that still shaped property lines and road orientations over a century later.
