2020 Map of Wilmar South

About this map

The town of Wilmar sits at the northern edge of this survey, where the grid of city streets like Lafoon Ave and Johnson Ave gives way to the dense creek networks and wetlands of southern Drew County. This area is defined by the convergence of Clear Cr, Hazel Cr, and Tenmile Cr, creating a landscape punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds that reveal the settlement history of the region. Notable sites include the Wilmar Cem and Turner Hills Cem near the town center, while smaller hamlets like Green Hill and New Hope maintain their own distinct identities and namesake cemeteries. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling wetlands around Clear Cr, through which the historic Warren Prairie Trail once passed, illustrating the historical challenge of navigating this water-rich territory.
