USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Walnut and the surrounding agricultural townships of Bureau, Lee, and Whiteside counties are documented here just after the Second World War. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage projects designed to manage the Green River basin, including the Feeder Canal, Five Mile Ditch, and Special Ditch. These engineering efforts facilitated the growth of small rail-side communities like Harmon, Deer Grove, and Normandy, which served as local hubs for the numerous rural schools peppered across the grid.
