1949 Map of Walnut
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The agricultural landscape of Whiteside, Lee, and Bureau Counties is documented here during the late 1940s, revealing a dense network of rural infrastructure organized around the Green River. The drainage pattern is heavily modified by systems such as the levee-lined main river and various feeders like Five Mile Branch, supporting the intensive farming of the region. Transportation is anchored by the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads, which connect grain-handling settlements like Harmon, Deer Grove, and Normandy.
