1961 Map of Northville

About this map

Mad River drainage patterns define this portion of Champaign County in the early 1960s, where the valley floor is punctuated by numerous gravel operations such as the Sand and Gravel Pits near Northville. The landscape is a patchwork of small agricultural settlements and crossroads like Lippincott and Eris, linked by a grid of named rural routes including Ninemile Road and Woodville Pike. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds throughout the townships, from the Scott and Pullins Cem in the center to the Harbour Cem further south.
