1913 Map of Sumner
USGS Topo · Published 1913About this map
The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern RR serves as the central artery for this Illinois prairie region, connecting the primary settlements of Sumner and Bridgeport. This pre-World War I landscape reveals a dense network of country schools, such as Hickory Point School and Frogeye School, spaced frequently across the rural townships of Claremont and Lukin. The mapping by Frank Tweedy and his team illustrates how human settlement followed the drainage patterns of Muddy Creek and Bonpas Creek, with small villages like Berryville and Ruark serving as local hubs.
