About this map

The Camp Ellis Military Reservation dominates the northeastern corner of this 1947 survey, representing a significant period of military land use in Fulton County just after World War II. The landscape is defined by the incision of Sugar Creek and Otter Creek, which carve through the townships of Vermont, El Dorado, and Oakland. Between these drainages, a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and small family cemeteries illustrates the rural social structure of the late 1940s.

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, connecting the established hubs of Vermont and Table Grove. Researchers can trace the placement of local institutions like Union Center Sch, Flatwoods Sch, and Kost Sch, alongside family landmarks such as Foster Point Cem and Easley Cem, which provide specific points of reference for genealogical study and local history.
