About this map

Gilman serves as the primary hub of this Northwoods landscape, situated where the Yellow River flows through Taylor County. The village layout is clearly defined by a grid including Main ST, Pine ST, and E Mcsloy ST. To the south, the smaller settlement of Polley sits near a concentrated cluster of community burial grounds, including Meadowbrook Cem, Meadowbrook Lutheran Cem, and Meadowbrook Catholic Cem.

The surrounding terrain is dominated by complex water systems, characterized by the Fisher River and a series of managed waters such as Sotak Flowage, Witt Flowage, and numbered reservoirs like Flowage Number Three. These features, along with local tributaries like Elder Cr and Babbit Cr, illustrate a landscape heavily shaped by hydrological engineering and timber-country drainage patterns. Rural connectivity is maintained through named roads like Rued RD and Gilman RD, which link the isolated flowages and farmlands to the village centers.
