1925 Map of Taylorville
USGS Topo · Published 1925About this map
Taylorville serves as the focal point of this Central Illinois landscape, where the confluence of the Sangamon River and its South Fork dictates the layout of the land. In the early 1920s, the region was defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including dozens of one-room schoolhouses like Brush College and Sand Ridge School. The industrial character of the era is visible in the cluster of mining and rail settlements around Kincaid, Jeisyville, and Bulpitt, which grew alongside the Chicago and Illinois Midland RR. Further north, smaller agricultural centers such as Edinburg and Sharpsburg are connected by the Baltimore and Ohio RR. The map preserves the names of long-standing community landmarks, including Bethany Church and Good Hope Church, alongside forgotten rail stops like Humphrey Sta.
