1948 Map of Pomona
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The Mobile and Ohio RR cuts a path through the western Illinois hills, connecting the small settlements of Pomona and Etherton within a landscape defined by deep drainages and narrow ridges. The 1947 survey captures a rural Jackson County economy transitioning from small-scale farming and timber to regional connectivity via the Black Diamond Highway. Much of the southern half of the quadrangle lies within the Shawnee National Forest, where unique geological features like the Natural Bridge and Saltpeter Cave dot the rugged Cave Valley.
