1999 Map of Tuscola
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
The Tuscola area at the turn of the millennium is characterized by its organized grid of agricultural land and the concentrated civic infrastructure of the Douglas County seat. Significant community landmarks such as Jarman Memorial Hospital, the Po, and CH anchor the city center, while educational sites like North Ward Sch and East Prairie Sch define the local neighborhoods. The landscape is marked by the winding course of the Kaskaskia River and Hayes Branch, which cut across the otherwise rectilinear survey lines. Industrial and utility footprints are visible in the Oil Field to the northwest and the extensive Disposal Ponds near Ficklin, reflecting the region's intersection of rural life and industrial processing. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including Lewis Cem and the Upper Lester Cem, provide valuable geographic markers for genealogical research across the prairie.
