1974 Map of Vandalia

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The historic Illinois state capital of Vandalia serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, illustrating its position as a hub of transport and administration along the Kaskaskia River. The map meticulously details the town's civic infrastructure, including the Vandalia Correctional Center, the local Courthouse, and the State House. Evidence of early settlement patterns remains visible through a high density of burial grounds like the Old State Cem and South Hill Cem, while the industrial and agricultural landscape is shaped by the Penn Central railroad and the extensive Vandalia Ditch drainage system.
