1968 Map of Vergennes
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Illinois Central Railroad corridor anchors the landscape of southern Illinois in the late 1960s, connecting the village of Vergennes with rural outposts like Matthews Junction and Walkers. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Beaucoup Creek, which flows through a region transitioning from agricultural use to industrial excavation. Evidence of local extraction is visible in the prominent Strip Mine operations and extensive Tailings piles that flank the rail lines and creek beds, illustrating the era's intensive resource recovery.
