2016 Map of Wheaton

About this map

Wheaton anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated along Railroad St and Main St in a region defined by its creek-carved topography and grid of rural roads. The boundary between Marshall and Pottawatomie counties bisects the terrain, where small settlements like Lillis and Nolan are linked by Parallel Rd. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Saint Josephs Catholic Cem near Irish Cr and Saint Luke Lutheran Cem on the outskirts of Wheaton. This map documents a traditional agricultural network where the natural drainage of Clear Fork and Dutch Cr dictated early land use and the placement of country roads like Old State Hwy 16 and Lone Tree Rd.
