2015 Map of Delavan South

About this map

Delavan and San Jose anchor this survey of the central Illinois plains, where the boundaries of Tazewell, Mason, and Logan counties converge. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid, with long stretches of Armington Rd and Logan Rd cutting across the terrain. Water management is evident in the channelization of Prairie Cr Ditch, while the natural winding course of Crane Cr persists to the north. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds including Prairie Rest Cem near Delavan and the more isolated Thomas Cem and Greenhill Cem further south. The topography is largely level, though it rises to a notable point at Buxton Hill in the southwest, providing one of the few breaks in the surrounding agricultural expanse.
