1969 "Enjoy Illinois" state atlas---where to find ???
Hello,
Anyone know where I could find a copy of the 1969 "Enjoy Illinois" state
atlas for research ? Not available in libraries and have regularly searched web with no luck... 1970 would probably be okay, also...
Thanks much. John

Try these. One or the other should have a copy if it exists.

Hi John....how is your search going for the plumbing family? I'll ask my brother if he has that book....he is a historian at a library and for our town....but has all kinds of Illinois plat books, atlas books, etc .

Hello Doll Lady,
Still no luck with search... Did talk with an older guy who's family
had Keough Texaco in Lawndale on Route 66 in 50's---found picture
of that station in Drury Aerial History book and building was very similar to one that our friends had their heating/plumbing business in. He said he'd ask his "coffee group" if they knew of any others like it that would fit
scenario...
That atlas would really help since it has
detailed highway maps for all Illinois counties. Have atlas-plat books
for most counties around Peoria, but from various years---need to see
highway situation in 1969. Although '68 or '70 would probably help...
Seem to remember some construction on our trip---possibly new section
of an Interstate... Sure would like to find a 1969 directory of Heating/Plumbing businesses in West Central Illinois, but ILPHCC and Unions won't release their records...
Thanks much, again, for your help. John

Hello Doll Lady,
Any luck with that atlas ? It was only called "Enjoy Illinois" for a couple
years---then became just "Illinois State Atlas"... Just recently found this
out. Thanks for your responses and help. John

JOhn....no luck .... I had asked my brother and he finally got around to checking through his piles of stuff! I'll keep on looking at auctions though.
