2016 Map of Gilman

About this map

Killbuck Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Killbuck Cr and Moon Br, dominate this central Indiana landscape as they wind toward the White River in the south. The 2016 survey captures a predominantly agricultural region across the border of Madison and Delaware counties, where small settlements like Gilman and Moonville serve as local anchors. Family history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Heagy Cem and Moonville Cem, which are scattered among the well-defined township and range lines. The presence of Reed Station and the Diamond P. Field airstrip reflects the evolution of local transportation from rail-era origins to modern regional transit. This detailed topographic study illustrates the persistence of rural community centers amidst a grid of county roads, providing a clear record of the area's drainage patterns and land use.
