2015 Map of Blandinsville

About this map

Blandinsville serves as the primary hub of this Western Illinois landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line and a grid of rural roads like W Main St. The surrounding countryside in McDonough County is defined by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Mustain Cem, Glade City Cem, and Pennington Number 1 Cem. These sites, often located near small watercourses like Little Cr or Baptist Cr, provide significant genealogical markers for the region. The map also captures the industrial and municipal infrastructure of the area, from the Blandinsville City Reservoir to the smaller settlement of Sciota on the eastern edge. Drainage follows the winding paths of the S Br La Moine River and La Harpe Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields that dominate the township.
