I have the '1908 Standard Atlas of Saline Co. Plat Book' which I recently purchased from the Saline County Genealogical Society for $15 plus S/H. (see http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsaline/books.htm ). The map shows Rector township in the northeast corner of the county. This map shows the names of the townships, but does not clearly show their boundaries (it is in black and white). I can only infer that Rector township corresponds to the one called 'Plainview' on the 1875 map: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/illinois/il1875/SALINE.JPG This 1875 map is the same one that is displayed at the top of the Saline County GenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsaline/ . On this map, Plainview Township consists of the 18 sections of township 7 south, range 7 east which fall in Saline County (sections 19-36). There are no towns shown in Plainview Township on this map; however, the 1908 map shows the following to fall in these same sections: Francis Mills P.O. and Texas City. Interestingly, the town of Rectorville is shown on the 1875 map of Hamilton county http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/illinois/il1875/HAMILITO.JPG in Mayberry Township. Hope this helps Faith.
