About this map

Roseville serves as the primary hub in this mid-1970s western Illinois landscape, situated at a key intersection of regional commerce and transport. The Burlington Northern railroad runs north-to-south through the center of town, passing the local High Sch and a Sewage Disposal Pond. Beyond the residential blocks of Roseville, the map reveals a rural expanse defined by townships like Ellison, Point Pleasant, and Swan.

The prairie terrain is segmented by several watercourses including Ellison Creek and the headwaters of the East Fork La Moine R near the border of Warren and McDonough Counties. For those tracing local heritage, several burial sites are documented, including Salem Cem, Asbury Cem, and Slice Cem. Small community anchors like the Townhall in Point Pleasant and the settlement of Swan Creek illustrate the dispersed nature of the agricultural economy during this era.
