Description
Beautiful, antique map of Tallula, Illinois & surrounding Menard County, Sangamon County, Morgan County & Cass County areas.

Lots of intricate details & geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This is one of the rare maps where the topographic symbols & map guide are on the front. Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare.
