1936 Map of Virginia
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Virginia and Ashland anchor this 1930s landscape where the agricultural plains of central Illinois meet the breaks of the Sangamon Valley. The rail network of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Alton lines provided the primary economic arteries for grain and livestock transport, connecting small shipping points like Philadelphia, Literberry, and Prentice. The map reveals an exceptionally dense system of rural education, with dozens of family-named schoolhouses such as Science Hill Sch, Brush College Sch, and Crows Point Sch distributed at nearly every section interval to serve the farmstead population.
