1949 Map of Turtle Creek

About this map

Turtle Creek winds through the heart of McLean Co in this late-1940s topographic record, revealing a rural landscape defined by township school districts and scattered pioneer cemeteries. The map meticulously documents the social fabric of the era through its naming of numerous rural schoolhouses, including the Veeder, New Home, Sverdrup, Koenig, Satterlund, and Iowa systems. These clusters of small educational outposts reflect the high density of family farms before the consolidation of mid-century agriculture.
