1971 Map of Vick

About this map

The Saline River defines the southern boundary of this landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and backwaters including Black Lake, Mud Lake, and Robinson Bay. This riverine environment supported local industry and transport, evidenced by the presence of Pine Island Landing and the river-adjacent settlement at Stillions. Higher ground to the north is characterized by a mix of small rural communities and timber-related landmarks. The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across the territory, serving as a primary transit artery for the town of Vick. Local spiritual and social centers are clearly marked, including Antioch Ch, Hampton Chapel, and Calvary Ch near Johnsville. The landscape's economic character is further shaped by the numerous Gravel Pits and the timber resources reflected in Georgia Pacific Lake.
