1953 Map of Teutopolis

About this map

Teutopolis and the surrounding agricultural townships of Effingham, Cumberland, and Jasper Counties are captured here during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, where country schools like Butterfly Sch and Spring Point Sch served farming families between larger settlements. The influence of the energy sector is visible through the presence of Oil Wells and Oil Tanks scattered through the northern sections of the quadrangle.
