1959 Map of Westover

About this map

MC Kellar Field serves as a prominent landmark in this portion of Madison County, situated near the intersection of several significant local transit corridors. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Big Black Creek and Johnson Creek, which cut through the terrain south of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. This era of the late 1950s shows a well-distributed network of rural institutions, including Upper Ingram Sch, Neely Sch, and Blairs Sch, alongside numerous community hubs like Andrews Chapel and Mt Olive Ch. The presence of Burkitt Siding and the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad highlights the ongoing importance of rail infrastructure for the small settlements of Denmark and Huntersville. Transportation is further anchored by historical routes such as the Steam Mill Ferry Road and America Road, reflecting the evolution of local travel from river-oriented ferries to modern highway systems.
