1924 Map of Roodhouse
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Chicago and Alton and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads form the industrial backbone of this western Illinois landscape, converging at the major junction of Roodhouse. This 1924 survey reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, where nearly every section of land is served by a localized institution. The map is particularly notable for its high concentration of named country schools, from the curiously titled Swamp College School to the Bending Oak School, illustrating the intensity of small-town and rural settlement during this era.
