1981 Map of Stanford
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The village of Stanford sits as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the early 1980s, intersected by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. This map delineates the boundary of the Third Principal Meridian, a critical surveying line that dictates the property layouts across central Illinois. Rural life is anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Ch and the Olympia High Sch located on the southern edge of the township. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of the Sugar Creek system, including the West Fork Sugar Creek and Middle Fork Sugar Creek, which drain the surrounding prairie. Genealogists will find interest in the well-marked Brooks Grove Cem, while the township boundaries of Allin, Danvers, and Mount Hope provide a clear spatial framework for historical land research.
