2015 Map of Stockland

About this map

Stockland sits near the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, marking a cluster of development where the grid of rural roads converges. The territory stretches across the state line into Indiana, defined by an extensive network of agricultural drainage systems such as Kult Ditch, Mud Cr, and Finigan Ditch. These waterways manage the drainage into the N Fork Vermilion River in the southeast corner. Small crossroads like Hallock and Greer suggest the historical settlement patterns of Iroquois County, where localized community centers served the surrounding farmstead population. A small airfield, Wichman Airport, and the isolated Totheroh Cem provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists researching the families of this prairie region. The map reveals the precise transition from the Illinois county roads to the Indiana border, where the survey system shifts slightly as it enters Benton County.
