1956 Map of Villa Grove
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Agricultural lands and emerging rural settlements define the landscape of eastern Illinois in this mid-century survey. The city of Villa Grove serves as a central hub where the Chicago and Eastern Illinois RR meets the natural course of the Embarras River. This confluence of rail and water reflects the regional reliance on transport for grain and local industry. To the south, the village of Camargo and the riverside area of Patterson Springs highlight the small-town character of Douglas County during this era.
