1973 Map of Wayne City
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Wayne City serves as the focal point of this Southern Illinois landscape, situated at the intersection of the Southern railroad and a network of county roads. The settlement patterns in the early 1970s reveal a mix of small villages like Sims and Smithville interspersed with numerous family-named burial grounds including Thomason Cem and Trotter Cem. The meandering course of the Skillet Fork and its tributaries, such as Horse Creek and Fourmile Creek, define the low-lying terrain, while Hickory Hill and Fleming Ridge offer distinct geographic elevation. This era shows an active resource-extraction footprint with an Oil Well near the Dry Fork and municipal infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Gaging Station along the river banks.
