1936 Map of Potomac
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The Middle Fork Vermilion River meanders through this portion of east-central Illinois, anchoring a landscape of established townships like Butler, Middle Fork, and Compromise. Surveyed in the early 1930s, the map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, including a remarkably high concentration of country schoolhouses such as Science Hill Sch, Judy Sch, and Gordon Sch. These landmarks, alongside the New York Chicago and St Louis RR passing through Rankin, reflect a mature agricultural society organized around small rail towns and local school districts.
