1956 Map of Stanford
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The ridge and valley landscape west of Bloomington is defined by the winding course of the Illinois Central railroad as it cuts through the wooded hills of Van Buren and Indian Creek townships. This mid-century survey captures a network of rural communities and upland farms during a period of relative stability before modern suburban expansion. Small settlements like Stanford and Cincinnati serve as focal points for the surrounding countryside, which is dotted with numerous country churches and family burial grounds such as Harmony Cem and the Edwards Cem. A prominent Lookout Tower stands watch over the timbered slopes near the southern boundary. The map illustrates how local life was anchored by institutions like the Sanbourn Sch and Union Ch, while the drainage basins of Richland Creek and Beech Creek dictated the placement of roads and homesteads across the Greene and Monroe County line.
