1966 Map of Princeton South

About this map

Princeton serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey, showing the town's expansion southward toward the winding path of Big Bureau Creek. The landscape reflects a transition from the urban grid of the county seat, featuring local landmarks like the Courthouse and Perry Hospital, to the complex waterway systems of Arispie township. A significant historical corridor is preserved here in the form of the Illinois and Mississippi Canal (Abandoned), which runs parallel to the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, illustrating the shift from early canal transport to the dominance of rail and later motor travel via local routes.
