1957 Map of Thomasboro

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Thomasboro sits at the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in central Illinois, anchored by the north-south corridor of the Illinois Central railroad. The map documents the rural-to-urban transition as the northern fringes of Champaign and Urbana begin to expand, with Wilbur Heights and Augerville appearing as early developments. Local infrastructure of the late 1950s is highly detailed, featuring the Illini Airport and a nearby Drive-in Theater, reflecting the era's mid-century automotive and aviation culture.
