1965 Map of Tilden
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The northern edge of Sparta and the rail-oriented villages of Tilden and Clarmin anchor this mid-1960s landscape, which was later updated to show the expansion of industrial activity in the early 1980s. The region is defined by a convergence of transportation and extraction, where the Illinois Central Gulf and Missouri Pacific railroads cross the agricultural terrain. A massive Strip Mine and an extensive Elevated Conveyor system underscore the area's significance in the Illinois coal basin, showing how industrial infrastructure integrated with local topography.
