1970 Map of Prairie Grove
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park anchors the northern portion of this Washington County landscape, preserving the site of the 1862 Civil War engagement just outside the town of Prairie Grove. The terrain transitions from the relatively flat valley of the Illinois River toward the south, where high ridges like Stevenson Mountain and the peak of Pinnacle overlook a network of creek hollows. This 1970 snapshot reveals a landscape deeply connected to its rural history, dotted with family-named burial grounds including Billingsley, Howell, and Rutherford. Small communities such as Hogeye and Hubbard appear along the roads, while the infrastructure of the era is evident in the Old Railroad Grade and the Lake Prairie Grove reservoir. Local life is centered around rural institutions like Illinois Chapel and the New Hope Community Hall.
