1956 Map of Roseglen

About this map

The Hiddenwood National Wildlife Refuge anchors the northern landscape of this McLean County survey, centered on the waters of Hiddenwood Lake. This mid-century view captures a rural community defined by its township structure, notably Amundsville, Gate, and Roseglen. The settlement of Roseglen is positioned near the southern border, while the surrounding prairie is dotted with essential civic markers, including a Town Hall and the Hiddenwood Cem. A clear record of early local education is preserved here through the locations of Hiddenwood Sch No 2, Hiddenwood Sch No 3, and the site of Hiddenwood Sch No 4 (Abandoned). Historically significant property lines are also visible, specifically the Old Indian Boundary which runs through the heart of the terrain near Round Top Hill.
