1998 Map of Bloomington East

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Bloomington and Normal anchor the northwestern corner of this study, reflecting the late 20th-century footprint of these twin cities. Beyond the urban grid of Illinois Wesleyan University and several hospitals, the landscape transitions into a patchwork of country clubs and cemeteries that define the city limits. Significant landmarks such as the Bloomington-Normal Airport and the County Fairground highlight the regional importance of this McLean County hub. To the southeast, the terrain shifts toward more rural townships like Old Town and Downs, where the meandering courses of Kickapoo Creek and Little Kickapoo Creek dominate the topography. Small rail-side communities like Gillum and Hendrix are preserved here, alongside numerous rural burial grounds including Bishop Cemetery and Diamond Grove Cemetery, offering valuable data for genealogical research into the area's agricultural heritage.
