USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Sibley serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie, where the Wabash and Illinois Central railroads intersect. This 1947 topographic study captures a dense network of one-room schoolhouses that define the local social geography, including Bee Hive Sch, Allen Sch, and Happy Home Sch. The landscape is largely defined by the headwaters of several drainages, such as the Mackinaw River and South Fork Vermilion River, which originate in the glacial topography of Belle Prairie.
