2012 Map of Wilton Center

About this map

Wilton Center and the neighboring hamlets of Wallingford and Andres anchor this portion of the Illinois prairie at the turn of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, such as W Joliet Rd and S Cedar Rd, which navigate the gentle drainage basins of Forked Cr and its southern branch. The map reveals the placement of essential community landmarks, including Wilton Center Cem and Calvary Cem, situated just south of the primary settlement. Farther east, the West Peotone Presbyterian Cem serves as a lone marker of local heritage near the junction of W Kennedy Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural structure of the region, where modern aviation at Neiner Airport exists alongside the traditional layout of rural cemetery locations and sprawling farm fields.
