2012 Map of Cambridge

About this map

Cambridge serves as the central hub of this West Central Illinois landscape, organized by a rigid grid of county roads and agricultural plots. The village's detailed street plan includes the Henry County Fairgrounds on its eastern edge, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small family and community burial grounds like Grace Episcopal Cem and Munson Cem. To the south, the Edwards River meanders across the territory, joined by tributaries such as Hillery Cr and Camp Cr. The local aviation history of Henry County is evident through specialized sites like the Wheatley Landing Strip and Boyd Wheatleys Farm Airport located west of the main settlement. Small communities and landmarks, including Ulah and Valley View Club Lake, offer focal points for genealogical research and local history within this predominantly rural township structure.
