USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Gilman serves as a critical junction for the Illinois Central and Toledo Peoria and Western railroads, anchoring a landscape of grid-patterned agriculture in central Illinois. This mid-century survey reveals a dense network of local education, with one-room schoolhouses such as College Corner Sch and Schoon Sch spaced frequently across the prairie. The Iroquois River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, crossed by named crossings like Ferry Bridge and Fiddler Bridge, which provided vital links for the rural population.
