Beaverville, IL: KB&S/NYC/Big Four Depot

(Satellite)


I realized that I never knew the location of one of the namesake towns for the KB&S until now.

Larry Graham: The Southeastern ran to the west of Beaverville. Pole vaulted over the Big Four north of Iroquois.

Dennis DeBruler commented on Larry's comment
I'd call it to the east of Beaverville. Nonetheless, the depot would be for just the NYC/Big Four. 1956/56 Danville Quad @ 250,000
Larry Graham: Dennis DeBruler You're right! My bad.

This map does have a square that is parallel to the tracks, but it is on the wrong side of the tracks. But that is a common compromise when the scale of the map does not allow the square to be placed at the correct location.
