1972 Map of Southwest Pontotoc

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Skuna River and its numerous tributaries, including Funny Creek and Little Skuna River, carve through this rural landscape southwest of the city of Pontotoc. In the early 1970s, this region was characterized by a dense network of country churches that served as community anchors, such as Macedonia Union Ch, Reynolds Chapel, and Palestine Ch. The northern portion of the map shows the expansion of Pontotoc near Pontotoc Lake, while the village of Algoma sits further south along the Gulf Central Illinois rail line. A notable institutional presence is the Pontotoc Ridge-Flatlands State Experiment Station in the southeast, indicating the area's ongoing importance to agricultural research. From the South Pontotoc Attendance Center to the various sandpits scattered near Webster Creek, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by both local education and small-scale natural resource extraction.
