USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Switz City serves as the central junction for this 1950 Greene County landscape, where the Pennsylvania and Illinois Central railroads intersect. The surrounding townships of Grant, Fairplay, and Washington are defined by an extensive network of drainage ditches, including Beehunter Ditch and Shelkett Ditch, which reflect the managed water systems of the mid-century Midwest. To the south and east of the village, several large Strip Mine operations mark the beginning of significant industrial extraction in the region.
