USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Delavan serves as the central hub of this agricultural and rail-oriented landscape, where the Illinois Central, Alton, and Chicago and Northwestern railroads converge to move goods across Central Illinois. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Mackinaw River in the north and an extensive system of drainage infrastructure, such as the Main Ditch and Allen Grove Ditch, which converted the natural wetlands and Sand Prairie into productive farmland.
