1947 Map of Piper City
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Piper City serves as the focal point for this rural landscape where Ford, Iroquois, Livingston, and Kankakee counties converge. The post-war era is depicted through a dense network of township section lines and a remarkable concentration of one-room schoolhouses, such as Taylor Sch, Adams Sch, and Heavisides Sch, illustrating the decentralization of rural education before mid-century consolidation. The regional economy is anchored by the Toledo Peoria and Western and the Illinois Central railroads, which facilitated the transport of grain from elevators in Kempton and Cabery.
