1947 Map of Wayne City
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Wayne City and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Wayne and Jefferson counties are depicted here in the mid-1940s, just as the region’s rural school and church networks remained the center of community life. The Southern railway corridor dictates the placement of settlements like Sims and Keenes, while the Illinois Central Railroad serves Bluford in the west. This survey provides an exceptional view of the southern Illinois prairie before the consolidation of rural districts, shown through dozens of named one-room schoolhouses such as Webber Grove Sch, South Lilly Sch, and Pine Knot Sch.
