Historic Map - Homer, IL - 1869
Description
View of Homer, Champaign County, I.L., 1869 / drawn & published by A. Ruger.
This bird’s-eye view print of Homer, Illinois was drawn by Albert Ruger and published by Merchant’s Lithographing Co. in 1869. Homer is illustrated here fourteen years after its original thirty-two structures were dragged a mile and one half south of its previous location to be nearer to the railroad.
