1964 Map of Milford

About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the heart of this Iroquois County landscape, defining the layout of rural Milford and its surrounding townships in the mid-1960s. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad serves as the primary industrial spine, linking the settlements of Coaler, Woodland, and Woodland Junction. The presence of several small burial grounds, including Belmont Cem, Body Cem, and Vennum Cem, offers a detailed map for genealogists tracing early families in the area. The map also documents local aviation and infrastructure through the Newman Landing Strip, the Milford Airport, and a Gaging Station located along the creek. Fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle provide a unique record of contemporary fence and field boundaries across the agricultural terrain of Stockland and Sheldon townships.
