Hello,
If you are looking for Sanborn Maps of Jacksonville, Il. then
search for Oswego, Il. Library. Then click on Online Datebase. Go down to
Illinois Sanborn Maps. Click Illinois. Then go to Jacksonville and pick
the year(s) you want.
Map # 16 of 1899 is interesting.

I would be very interested as well. I am modeling Jacksonville on my layout.
Any information on the tower or Jacksonville in general, would be greatly
appreciated.
Also, was the Wabash tower built before or after the old J&H/CP&St.L line
northward to Havana was abandoned? I am having a difficult time trying to
discern the J&H/CP&St.L track arrangement south of the tower. Hard to tell
exactly where it joined the GM&O and CB&Q. Sadly, the aerial photos on the ISGS
web site are just a bit too blurry to discern that level of detail. A chart
would be extremely useful in solving the mystery. Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Stan
