USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
What Cheer serves as a primary hub of settlement in the mid-1960s, its street grid and industrial footprint reflecting an era of transition. The presence of multiple Claypit locations and specialized Kilns near the town center indicates a local economy shaped by clay extraction and ceramics production. Transport infrastructure is prominent throughout Washington township, including the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and remnants of an Old RR Grade and Old RR, showing how rail lines dictated the growth of nearby Thornburg.
