A NEW map of the state of Illinois on a 
scale of approximately eight miles to the inch 
is ready for distribution by the State Geolog- 
ical Survey. It is prepared in three colors so 
as to represent drainage features in blue; 
railroads, land lines, towns, ete., in black, and 
county boundaries and figures showing alti- 
tudes above sea level for various towns in 
red. This map eliminates the errors of early 
land surveys, so that places are now shown 
with correct latitude and longitude. Railroad 
alignments are all highly accurate.
