2024 Map of Bloomington West

About this map

The suburban edge of Bloomington and Normal meets the agricultural expanse of McLean County in this contemporary survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from dense residential grids to open farmland, anchored by smaller outlying settlements like Shirley, Covell, and Twin Grove. Waterways such as Sugar Creek and Timber Creek meander across the prairie, while major transport corridors, including the N Mitsubishi Mtwy, facilitate the movement of commerce and people. For local historians, the concentration of burial grounds is significant, ranging from the County Farm Cem to the Jewish Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. A notable localized landmark is the Cottonwood Airport, illustrating the integration of private aviation into the rural-suburban fringe. The map captures the current footprint of these communities, reflecting how modern development continues to reshape the central Illinois prairie.
