Bloomington and its northwestern neighbor Normal dominate the landscape of this McLean County survey, where the expanding urban grid meets the agricultural heartland. The northeastern corner shows the concentrated development of Bloomington Heights, while to the southwest, smaller settlements like Shirley and Covell maintain a distinct identity away from the city core. This era of infrastructure is defined by the complex convergence of major highways, yet the map preserves numerous historical touchstones for local researchers, including an exceptional number of burial grounds such as Jewish Cem, Scogin Hill Cem, and the County Farm Cem.
