About this map

Cooksville and Colfax anchor this section of McLean County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of country roads. The Mackinaw River winds through the center of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Patton Cr, Henline Cr, and Little Crooked Cr. These waterways provide the primary relief in an otherwise strictly organized landscape of sections and ranges.

Local history is preserved in small rural burial grounds such as Wiley Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Blue Mound Township Cem. Aviation history is noted at the Schertz Aerial Service - Cooksville Airport, while the village centers show their civic infrastructure with labels like the Po in Cooksville. The map provides a clear record of land divisions across Townships 24 and 25 North, illustrating how the rural Illinois landscape remains centered on these small established communities.
