2018 Map of Shipman

About this map

Shipman stands at the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, where the intersection of W Railroad St and Prairie St anchors a community defined by its proximity to the Shipman Reservoir. To the south, the terrain transitions into the headwaters of the W Fork Wood River and E Fork Wood River, where drainage patterns create a more complex topography than the agricultural plains found near Piasa. Small, long-established hamlets like Miles Station and Woodburn are centered around their respective burial grounds, such as Miles Station Cem and Woodburn Cem.
