1919 Map of Vienna
USGS Topo · Published 1919About this map
Vienna serves as the focal point of this Southern Illinois landscape, situated at the confluence of rugged uplands and the swampy lowlands of the Cache River basin. The area is defined by an intricate network of drainage projects, evidenced by the Main Ditch, Clifty Creek Ditch, and the Post Creek Cutoff, which were vital for reclaiming fertile bottomlands from the periodic flooding of the Ohio River backwaters. This 1916 survey documents a dense rural social fabric before the mid-century consolidation of school districts, featuring numerous family-named landmarks like the Oliver Cemetery and Bridges Cemetery.
