2013 Map of Gillingham

About this map

The W Br Pine River and Fancy Cr systems dictate the settlement patterns of this Richland County landscape, where agriculture remains deeply specialized. In the early 21st century, the region around Gillingham and Woodstock is defined by a dense concentration of named agricultural estates rather than traditional town blocks. The names reflect a mix of general livestock and dairy operations, such as Snyders Valley Stock and Dairy Farm and Evergreen Stock and Dairy Farm, alongside highly specific operations like the Shropshire Sheep Farm and Glen Echo Fruit and Dairy Farm. This level of farm-specific labeling is rare in modern surveys, providing a detailed record of land use and family holdings like the Hart Homestead or Gillingham Homestead. Terrain features like Campbell Hill and Cribben Hill rise above the branching creeks and numerous small stock farms, while the 36 Reservoir serves as a notable water management feature in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
