A 1925 USGS topographic map of the Marion, Illinois Quadrangle, showing the locations of the Carlton Site and nearby barn investigated as part of this project. The black squares that are circled in red represent dwellings. The area delineated by the red lines is Carlton's home farm of 160 acres. Carlton owned additional acreage in the vicinity as well.
First floor plan of the Carlton House, showing conditions following the addition of the rear wing. Although the Carlton House was built very late, this floor plan illustrates a very traditional I-house form.
