1972 Map of Proctor

About this map

Proctor and the surrounding borderlands of Cherokee and Adair counties appear here in a state of rural transition during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Illinois River and Baron Fork, where local infrastructure like the Gaging Station and various river crossings supported small agricultural communities. Religious and social centers are prominently marked, including the Long Spring Ch, Oakdale Ch, and Proctor Ch, which served as anchors for dispersed settlements like Pumpkin Center and Titanic.
