2018 Map of De Witt

About this map

Lake Clinton dominates the southern landscape of this DeWitt County region, where the sprawling reservoir meets the winding course of the North Fork Salt Creek. The village of De Witt sits at a crossroads near the water's edge, serving as a focal point for a rural landscape defined by agricultural sections and scattered family cemeteries. Traces of early settlement are evident at Solomon and Birkbeck, while several historic burial grounds, including Johnson Cem, Griffith Cem, and Lisenby Cem, are preserved among the fields. The presence of the Sugar Hollow RLA Airport and smaller water bodies like Lake Shineman and Carter Pond illustrate the modern intersection of recreation and local aviation within this traditional Central Illinois farming community.
