1938 Map of Taberville

About this map

Monegaw Creek meanders through the central terrain of this St. Clair County landscape, eventually feeding into the Osage River which defines the southern border. The settlement pattern in the late 1930s reveals a deeply rural community supported by local industry and education, evidenced by operations like the Hays Mine and Old Short Mine. Small hamlets and named locales such as Johnson City and Taberville serve as anchors, while the countryside is dotted with neighborhood-scale landmarks like Blue Mound Sch and Rich Valley Sch.
