USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Saint Elmo and Altamont anchor the southern portion of this mid-century landscape, serving as vital transit hubs where the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroads converge. The industrial character of the era is evident through the presence of the Carter Refinery near the Kaskaskia River and another site by Wrights Corners. The survey details a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Airway Beacon west of Saint Elmo to numerous country schoolhouses like Prairie Cottage Sch and Logue Sch.
