1984 Map of Toledo

About this map

The Embarras River carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, flanked by prominent elevations like Graveyard Hill and Buck Knoll. Near the western edge, the county seat of Toledo sits alongside an Abandoned RR, signaling the shift in transportation that occurred as regional rail lines gave way to the developing highway network. The river's influence is clear in the local naming, from the sharp turn at Sconoe Bend to the drainage of Cottonwood Creek and Hurricane Creek. Smaller rural hubs like Bradbury, Timothy, and Janesville are distributed across the township boundaries of Cottonwood and Sumper. This survey captures the rural character of Cumberland County before the late 20th-century expansion of modern infrastructure, preserving the locations of numerous local Cem sites and industrial markers such as a Pumping Station and several Gravel Pit operations.
