Lot Description
[MAPS & ATLASES]. Town of Momence. Laid of by James Mix. N.p., n.d.
26 1/2 x 19 1/2 in. (sight), 31 1/4 x 21 1/4 in. (framed). "Lith. of Sarony & Major N. York" showing a plat of survey for Momence, Illinois, Jeddiah Woolley Jr., surveyor. Plat shows the Kankakee River to the south and the town of Momence to the north of the river (heavy toning, soil, wear and loss to frame, unexamined outside frame).
The "bordertown" of Momence, Illinois, was formally established in 1834 and platted by Dr. Hiram Todd in 1846. Woolley was active as a surveyor at least by the late 1840s indicating this may illustrate the earliest plat of survey for the town. RARE, OCLC locates no other copies of this map.
