2015 Map of Dwight

About this map

Dwight sits at a critical junction of central Illinois transit, where the historic path of S Old IL-66 meets modern interstate corridors. The town's grid is dense with local history, evidenced by a cluster of civic and spiritual sites including the Dwight Old Town Cemetery and Mount Olivet Catholic Cem. This landscape is defined by the prairie-style drainage of the W Fork Mazon River and Gooseberry Cr, which wind through the agricultural sections surrounding the village. Aviation plays a surprisingly prominent role in the local geography, with three distinct private airstrips—Sauer Airport, Watters Airport, and Jim & Peg RLA Airport—marking the rural plots. The transition between Grundy and Livingston counties is clearly delineated, showing how the regional road network, from W Scully Rd to Odell Rd, ties these farming communities together near Dwight Lions Lake.
