About this map

The Illinois Central railroad defines the transportation corridor of this mid-century landscape, passing through New Unionville Unionville Sta as it traverses the ridges of Monroe County. The map captures a transition from the agricultural lowlands near Dolan to the deeply dissected terrain of the Benton and Salt Creek townships. A network of rural institutions is well-preserved here, including several country schools like Fleener Sch and Lampkin Sch, alongside churches such as Mt Gilead Ch and Brummett Creek Ch. Notable geographic landmarks include the narrow Devils Backbone ridge and a hilltop Observatory south of Radientown, highlighting the area's elevation and clear vantage points. The drainage patterns of Stephens Creek and the North Fork Salt Creek illustrate the natural topography that shaped early settlement and road placement throughout the region.
