The Sangamon River headwaters and a network of agricultural drainage sloughs define the rural landscape of Ford County in this recent survey. The eastern portion of Gibson City and the neighboring village of Elliott serve as the primary population centers, revealing a grid of residential streets and local landmarks such as Schertz Field. The terrain is marked by the slow-moving waters of Dickerson Slough and Blackford Slough, which weave through the flat prairie land towards the southern county line.
