1933 Map of Petersburg

The map reveals a deeply settled agricultural society, preserved here through dozens of named country schools and small family burial grounds. Notable landmarks like the Indian Creek Mine and Tebrugge Mine indicate the local importance of coal, while community hubs like Petersville Hall and the Crane Creek Town Hall mark the civic centers of the early twentieth century. Extensive water management is visible through the many engineered channels like Central Ditch and Biggs Ditch that traverse the flatlands north of the river.
