1934 Map of Salem
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Salem sits at the nexus of a bustling mid-continent transportation network during this mid-1930s era. The landscape is dominated by the intersecting routes of the Illinois Central, Baltimore and Ohio, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroads, reflecting the heavy reliance on rail for commerce and travel between rural Illinois and larger hubs. Beyond the city center, the survey reveals a dense distribution of social infrastructure that defines early 20th-century rural life, including dozens of country schoolhouses like Telford Sch and Oak Grove Sch, and community landmarks such as the County Infirmary.
