Composite Map

​From 1937 to 1947, the State of Illinois sponsored a complete aerial photographic survey of the entire geography of the state. On July 7, 1939, they photographed the Greenview area. Using a digital copy from the Illinois State Geological Survey, we were able to recreate a composite map of what the farmstead may have looked like around 1900. First, please look at the 1939 photo below, since it serves as the basis for the composite:

​Starting with the 1939 photo and adding in other photographic evidence and personal knowledge from Doris Decker, Rodney Dimmick, and Charlie Nance (who was especially detailed in his memory), the following is the result. Some details are recreated digitally to make this appear to be an aerial photo of the 1900 farmstead:
