1926 Map of Pinckneyville

About this map

Pinckneyville serves as the focal point of this 1920s survey, situated at the junction of the Illinois Central and the Wabash Chester and Western railroads. The landscape is heavily defined by its transition from agrarian roots to a burgeoning mining economy, evidenced by the Victory Coal Mine and Panther Mine in the southern sections. Local education and community life are well-documented through a dense network of country schools, including the Round Prairie School, Shakerag School, and St Marys School.
