About this map

Cissna Park anchors this portion of Iroquois County, shown here in the mid-2010s as a well-defined village surrounded by the expansive agricultural grid of East Central Illinois. The settlement is centered around a precise street plan including W Blaine St, E Garfield Ave, and W Kaplin Ave, with the local Post Office serving as a central landmark for the community. The surrounding landscape is defined by the meandering courses of Pigeon Creek and Little Mud Creek, which break the geometric precision of the township road system.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Cissna Park Cem north of the main village near CR-42. To the northeast, the waters of Kellart Lake and the residential area along Kellerhals Dr illustrate the modern development footprint of the area. This record captures the transition from established village life to the rural outskirts where roads like N 1170 East Rd and N 1250 East Rd stretch across the prairie.
