1979 Map of Pomeroy
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Pomeroy sits at the intersection of heavy rail and local commerce on this 1970s survey of the Pocahontas and Calhoun County line. The town's grid is defined by its proximity to the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and the C M St P & P line, which provided vital connections for this agricultural prairie landscape. The surrounding area is heavily modified by an extensive drainage network, including Ditch No 66, Ditch No 167, and Ditch No 9 & 13, designed to manage the water levels for farming between South Branch Lizard Creek and the West Fork Camp Creek. Scattered throughout the rural townships of Colfax, Bellville, and Butler are community touchstones like the Elfsborg Ch and Bethany Cem, preserving the locations of early Swedish and evangelical congregations in the region.
