1966 Map of Princeton South

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Princeton serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s landscape, with its residential grid and civic institutions including Perry Hospital and the Courthouse well-defined. The city is surrounded by a dense network of educational facilities like Washington Sch and Logan Sch, while Oakland Cemetery and Greene Cem provide valuable markers for genealogical research. South of the city, the terrain drops into the bottomlands carved by Big Bureau Creek and East Bureau Creek. This area is dominated by the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor, which follows the winding watercourse toward Bureau. The presence of numerous Gravel Pit operations near Lake Arispie and Lake Rawson reflects the industrial activity in the valley during this era, while landmarks like the Piper Airport and Bureau Valley Country Club mark the transition from urban to rural use.
