About this map

Bloomington and Normal serve as the urban anchor for this portion of McLean County, where the dense street grids of the twin cities transition into the expansive agricultural landscapes of central Illinois. The northern portion of the sheet is defined by the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University and several significant burial grounds, including the historic Evergreen Memorial Cem and East Lawn Cem. The Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal occupies a large footprint to the east, illustrating the region's modern infrastructure.

Moving southeast, the landscape opens into the drainage basins of Sugar Creek and Kickapoo Creek, where small settlements like Gillum, Downs, and Hendrix are spaced along the transport corridors of Morrissey Dr and several county roads. The map captures a high degree of local detail for genealogists and researchers, noting specific rural landmarks such as Blooming Grove Cem and Woodlawn Cem, which dot the terrain between the urban center and the outlying hamlets.
