1984 Map of Rantoul
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Chanute Air Force Base dominates the landscape of Champaign County in the mid-1980s, serving as a significant military installation adjacent to the town of Rantoul. This provisional survey illustrates the integration of military and civilian life, with the base featuring its own Sewage Disposal Plant and Golf Course alongside the residential growth of the village. The surrounding prairie is defined by agricultural drainage systems like Big Ditch and Wildcat Slough, while the Illinois Central Gulf railroad provides a north-south transportation spine through the communities of Ludlow, Tomlinson, and Thomasboro. Local history is anchored by several long-standing institutions, including Maplewood Cem, Elmwood Cem, and multiple educational facilities such as Thompson Sch and Northview Sch.
