2015 Map of Delavan North

About this map

The Mackinaw River meanders across this Tazewell County landscape, carving a distinct valley that separates the rural settlements of Dillon and Delavan. This mid-2010s survey illustrates a region defined by agricultural continuity and scattered residential pockets, such as those near Venado Grande Lake. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, pinpointing several local burial sites including Saint Mary's Catholic Cem, Antioch Cem, and Woodrow Cem. Transport infrastructure ranges from the small Lutz RLA Airport to an extensive grid of country roads, including Red Shale Hill Rd and Mennonite Church Rd. The drainage patterns of Dillon Cr and Dry Cr define the local topography, highlighting the relationship between the prairie hydrology and the longstanding farmstead sites of the central Illinois plains.
