1974 Map of Stillwell

About this map

Stillwell emerges as a key railroad junction in the mid-1970s, where the Norfolk and Western lines intersect amidst the drainage basins of the Little Kankakee River and Mill Creek. The landscape is a complex mix of agricultural grid roads and preserved wetlands, most notably the Kingsbury State Fish and Game Area occupying the southern reaches. This era shows the developed recreation and residential clusters around Fish Lake, including Upper Fish Lake and Lower Fish Lake, contrasting with the more industrial infrastructure of a Pumping Sta and Substation nearby.
