1959 Map of Princeton
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Princeton serves as the industrial and transit hub of this 1959 landscape, where the Southern and Chicago And Eastern Illinois railroads converge. The map documents an intensive hydraulic engineering system designed to manage the flood-prone bottomlands where the Wabash River, White River, and Patoka River meet. Features like the Brevoort Levee and a dense network of drainage channels, including Mauck Ditch and Stormont Ditch, reveal the effort required to reclaim this fertile river junction for agriculture and settlement.
