Townships with no census or land info
I guess my e-mails to City-data have worked, a lot of these have been fixed and it will be a matter of going in and fixing them.
 * Flora Township, Boone County, Illinois - City-data.com pop doesn't match US Census number
 * Salisbury Township, Sangamon County, Illinois - not shown here, but the USGS topo map shows it surrounding Salisbury, Illinois and as the northern part of Gardner township above that blue congressional township line. US census 2000 and 1990 doesn't seem to list it. Historical populations were are available for 1930-1980 though maybe further back than that.This doesn't show it either. Maybe it merged with Gardner between 1980 and 1990?
