About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through McLean County, anchoring the riverside communities of Calhoun and Rumsey. As the county seat, Calhoun is defined by its civic heart at the McLean County Courthouse and a cluster of local history sites, including the Camp Calhoun Cem and the Calhoun Cem. The landscape transitions from the riparian bottomlands of The Bend to the elevated Tichenor Hills, reflecting a region shaped by both its waterways and agricultural tradition.

Local family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds like the John Calhoun Family Cem and the Robert Moseley Family Cem. Distinctive place names such as Poverty, Cleopatra, and Jewel City mark the rural crossroads, while infrastructure like the Woosley Airport and roads like Porter Schoolhouse Ln indicate the intersection of traditional settlement patterns and modern transit.
