Antique Effingham, Illinois 1950 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Shelby County, Altamont, Shumway, Lake Sara, Funkhouser, Sigel, IL

Beautiful, antique map of Effingham, Illinois and surrounding Effingham & Shelby County area. This is an authentic 1950 edition, 1968 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Illinois looked like over 70 years ago, before Lake Sara was created. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
