USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Paxton and Rantoul anchor this mid-1920s survey of the Illinois prairie, capturing a landscape defined by industrial rail lines and the early military aviation presence at Chanute Flying Field. The area is a dense grid of agricultural development, revealed by the extraordinary number of rural schoolhouses such as Trickel Grove School, Lily Dell School, and McMaster School that once served these townships.
