1970 Map of Rising

About this map

The Champaign city limits expand northward into Hensley township on this mid-1970s survey, marking a period of significant suburban growth. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Penn Central railroad and major modern interchanges, with the small settlement of Rising situated along the rail line west of the city. While residential developments like Garden Hills School and Thompson Park appear on the southern edge, the northern half of the quadrangle remains largely agricultural, partitioned into traditional township divisions like Newcomb and Condit.
