1944 Map of Gilman

The map is particularly dense with rural infrastructure, documenting dozens of neighborhood schoolhouses including Swival Sch, Leggottville Sch, and the uniquely named Ross Farm Sch. Small family and community burial grounds, such as Clark Cem and Bardon Cem, are preserved in their original context amongst the section-line roads. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage network, featuring Langan Creek and Prairie Creek, which was essential for the agricultural productivity of this Illinois heartland.
