1983 Map of Shannon

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The village of Shannon serves as the primary hub for this northwestern Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is broken by the winding paths of Lost Creek and the Leaf River. The southern portion of the territory is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which historically connected small trackside settlements like Harper to the wider region. An intriguing industrial detail is the presence of a Gold Mine located near the intersection of Stannard Road and Gold Mine Road, an unusual feature for the local geology.
