1970 Map of Starved Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Starved Rock State Park anchors this 1970s landscape, where the deeply incised canyons of the south bank meet the industrial and agricultural activity of the Illinois River valley. The map documents a complex geography of transition, featuring the ABANDONED Illinois and Michigan Canal and the active Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad paralleling the river. The southern bluffs are heavily marked by dramatic geological features like French Canyon, Tonti Canyon, and the Cave-of-the-Winds, while the northern uplands show intensive resource extraction through numerous strip mines, claypits, and sandpits.
