About this map

Silex and Millwood anchor this survey of the Lincoln County landscape, where the North Fork Cuivre River and its numerous tributaries like Nulls Cr and Paris Br define the local geography. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds and religious sites, such as the Saint Alphonsus Cemetery and Saint Marys Church, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing family histories in these small communities.

Transport and aviation features appear throughout the area, from the Steffen Bridge crossing the West Fork Cuivre River to local landing strips like Baldwin Airport and the Troy Airpark. Scattered industrial activity is evident at the Quarry near Millwood, while the southern reaches of the map show water management and recreational features including Terbrock Lake, Henebry Lake, and the winding Porter Slough.
