1966 Map of Sandford

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Sandford and Elbridge sit at the center of this 1966 topographic survey, which captures the rural borderlands between Edgar County, Illinois, and Vigo County, Indiana. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Sugar Creek and Little Sugar Creek, which carve through the agricultural fields of Stratton and Fayette townships. A distinct industrial signature is visible through the concentration of Gas Storage Wells and a Pumping Station near Elbridge, alongside the coal-related footprints of the Shirkie Mine and Green Valley Mine in the northeast. Transportation networks of the mid-20th century are well-preserved here, featuring the Penn Central and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and rural congregations, including Gymon Cem, Wilson Cem, and the Little Grove Ch, documenting the settled families of this prairie region.
