1961 Map of Urbana West

About this map

Urbana and its western rural hinterlands are captured here at a time of established rail prominence, with the Pennsylvania, Erie-Lackawanna, and New York Central railroads all converging on the city. The landscape is defined by the broad valley of the Mad River, which acts as a county boundary between Champaign Co and Clark Co. Scattered throughout the agricultural sections are numerous family-named burial grounds, including Snider Cem and Cook Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research.
