2011 Map of Stockland

About this map

Stockland and its surrounding prairie townships appear here in a landscape defined by an extensive network of drainage systems and agricultural homesteads. The village of Stockland remains a central hub, anchored by the Stockland Post Office, while smaller named locales such as Dawson Park, Hallock, and Greer are scattered across the grid-patterned county roads. The importance of water management in this Illinois-Indiana borderland is evident through the naming of engineered waterways like Salmon Ditch and Kuntz Ditch, which feed into natural systems like Mud Creek and the North Fork Vermilion River. Local history is preserved at the Totheroh Cemetery in the southeastern quadrant, and the small-scale aviation of the era is represented by the Wichman Airport northwest of the main settlement. This topographic study emphasizes the intersection of natural hydrology and the rectilinear human organization of the Midwestern plains.
