About this map

The Southern railroad corridor serves as the primary East-West artery for this mid-century Illinois landscape, connecting the bustling village of Wayne City with neighboring Keenes and Bluford. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Skillet Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Fourmile Creek and Horse Creek, which carved through the agricultural reaches of Arrington Prairie and Round Prairie. The map documents a dense network of early rural infrastructure, evidenced by dozens of named country schools and churches that served as community anchors before modern consolidation.
