1983 Map of Arrowsmith
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Ellsworth and Arrowsmith anchor this portion of McLean County, where the agricultural prairie is bisected by the Norfolk and Western railroad. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, notably the terminal moraine preserved within Moraine View State Park. This park surrounds Dawson Lake and provides a stark contrast to the surrounding grid of section lines and township boundaries like Dawson and Arrowsmith. Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Payne Cem and Frankeberger Cem. The headwaters of the Sangamon River and Salt Creek drain the undulating terrain, winding through a patchwork of farms marked by grain tanks and local landmarks like Blue Mound.
