1983 Map of Roodhouse West

About this map

White Hall and the surrounding township of Roodhouse form the industrial and civic heart of this Greene County landscape. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad serves as the primary artery for the region, connecting the larger settlements with smaller outposts like Hanks Station and West Roodhouse. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Rawlins Cem, Pine Tree Cem, and Johnson Cem, which often cluster near early creek-side settlements. Along the southern edge, Apple Creek and Whitaker Creek wind through the terrain near Belltown. This survey captures the transition from small-town centers to the intensive agricultural and rail-oriented economy of the early 1980s, documenting local landmarks such as the White Hall Hosp and the North Green High Sch.
