1971 Map of Germantown Hills

About this map

Germantown Hills and the surrounding woodlands of Worth township define the landscape of this 1971 study, where residential growth begins to intersect with established rural landmarks. The Mount Alverno Novitiate sits near the southern edge, while the village itself is flanked by several civic and religious sites, including the Germantown Hills Ch and the Wernsman Landing Strip. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways like Partridge Creek and Mundinger Creek, which flow toward the Upper Peoria Lake and the Woodford County State Conservation Area in the northwest. Several historic burial grounds, such as Black Partridge Cem and Lone Hill Cem, are preserved across the ridges, providing valuable locations for genealogical research. The presence of the Gulf Mobile And Ohio railroad and the Proving Ground area suggests the varied land use in this part of Woodford County during the early 1970s.
