1927 Map of Paxton
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
The Paxton and Rantoul corridor in the late 1920s showcases a landscape defined by the transition from early rural aviation to established prairie agriculture. A standout feature is the Chanute Flying Field south of Rantoul, which reflects the growing military aviation presence in the region during this era. The map reveals an intricate network of local education, with dozens of family-named schools such as Lily Dell School, Kemp School, and Strayer School dotting the countryside, serving the farming communities of Wall, Patton, and Rantoul townships.
