1983 Map of Roodhouse East

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Roodhouse and the small settlement of Wrights anchor this early 1980s landscape, where the agriculture of central Illinois meets the industrial imprint of Strip Mines. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through the northwestern corner, serving as a primary corridor for the region's transport and trade. The area is defined by a complex drainage network, where Apple Creek and its many tributaries, including Lick Creek and Birch Creek, carve through the terrain. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it documents numerous family and community burial grounds such as Tumison Cem, Martins Prairie Cem, and Sanders Cem, many of which are associated with local congregations like Martins Prairie Ch and Friendship Ch. The presence of several Strip Mines north of Apple Creek suggests a period of transition in land use, while established public spaces like Community Park and American Legion Park reflect the civic life of the era.
