About this map

Stockville serves as the focal point of this Frontier County landscape, appearing here as it was surveyed in the mid-1950s. The village is anchored by the County Fairground and sits near the confluence of Medicine Creek and Spring Creek. The map reveals a transition in rural education, specifically labeling the Liberty Sch and Weiden Sch as abandoned, while Sheridan Sch remains an active landmark.

Transportation and topography are defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad corridor in the north and the complex drainage of Saunders Canyon to the west. Local genealogy and history are grounded in features like Arbor Cem and the numerous small watercourses, including Dry Creek and Coyote Creek, which dictated the settlement patterns of the surrounding Sheridan and Stockville townships.
