2015 Map of Divernon

About this map

The agricultural landscape of central Illinois is defined by the branching waterways of Sugar Cr and Brush Cr, which meander through the prairie between the cities of Auburn and Divernon. This 2015 survey captures the region's intersection of historical routes and modern infrastructure, notably where Old Route 66 runs parallel to the modern interstate corridor. The map details the residential grids of local settlements like Thayer and Cimic, while several rural burial grounds, including the Cumberland Sugar Creek Cem and Wimmer Cem, provide anchor points for genealogical research. The southern boundary of the sheet marks the transition from Sangamon County into Macoupin County, illustrating the surveyor's precision in mapping the expansive farm plots and local roads like Union School Rd and Horse Farm Rd that tie these communities together.
