1906 Map of Urbana
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The city of Urbana serves as the focal point of this east-central Illinois landscape, captured here as the region's agricultural and transportation networks matured. A sophisticated web of railroads, including the Illinois Central (Chicago Division) and the Wabash RR, radiates from the urban center to support outlying agricultural hubs like Philo, St Joseph, and Thomasboro. These steel corridors were the lifelines of the local economy, connecting grain elevators and small-town depots to the larger markets of the Midwest.
