USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad anchors the development of northern Illinois on this 1950 survey, connecting the primary settlements of Sandwich, Plano, and Somonauk. The landscape is a mix of agricultural progress and institutional development, evidenced by the Sandwich Fair Grounds and the sprawling State Boys Training School near the southern boundary. Along the Fox River, smaller communities like Millington and Millhurst sit near industrial and recreational markers such as the Gravel Pit and Silver Springs State Park.
