2012 Map of Allerton

About this map

Broadlands and Allerton anchor this 2012 survey of eastern Illinois, a landscape defined by its grid-iron road system and complex drainage network. The terrain is bifurcated by the divide between the Little Vermilion River system flowing north and east, and the E Br Embarras River draining the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local agricultural engineering is evident in the extensive waterway modifications, including the Little Vermilion Ditch and Jordan Slough. The small settlement of Hastings sits near the eastern edge, while the private Trisler Airport serves the rural aviation needs of the area. This map provides a detailed look at the rural intersection of Champaign and Vermilion counties, showing how the 19th-century township system continues to dictate the modern landscape through roads like Co Rd-800 and E 900 N Rd.
