2015 Map of Gibson City East

About this map

Gibson City and the neighboring village of Elliott anchor this central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is intersected by a complex drainage network. The map reveals the hydrology that defines the eastern edge of Ford County, including Dickerson Slough, Blackford Slough, and the headwaters of Drummer Creek which flow toward the Sangamon River near the southern border. This 2015 survey provides a modern layout of local infrastructure, from the residential streets of Gibson City like E Le Fevre Ave to the rural roads that link scattered landmarks. Genealogists will find the locations of Oregon Cem and Blackford Cem useful for local research. The presence of Schertz Field north of Elliott further marks the transition between the small-town centers and the surrounding prairie-turned-farmland that stretches toward the Champaign Co line.
