This detailed assortment of plans was compiled by engineers of the Illinois Central Railroad in July 1950. A series of sixty-two maps shows the company’s right of ways and station properties between Branch Junction (near Centralia) and Clinton, Illinois – about 115 miles of track in total. Both types of maps label major railroad infrastructure (switches, bridges, post markers, etc.) and are variously accompanied by tables of land changes, notes, and a compass rose.

The right-of-way plans, presented at a scale of 1″ = 900′, name large landowners and include insets highlighting different track arrangements. Station maps, issued at a larger scale of 1″ = 300′, offer a detailed mid-century overview of portions of Clinton, Decatur, Macon, Maroa, Moweaqua, North Pana, Pana, Patoka, Ramsey, Sandoval, and Vandalia.
