USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Villa Grove and the surrounding agricultural townships of eastern Illinois are meticulously detailed in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the rectilinear grid of section lines and the winding course of the Embarrass River, which passes near the recreational enclave of Patterson Springs and Spring Lake. Small farming settlements like Bongard, Murdock, and Longview serve as local hubs along the extensive rail networks of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads.
