Fairbury and the village of Weston anchor this 2015 survey of the Illinois prairie. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of township and section roads, occasionally interrupted by the meandering courses of Indian Cr and Rooks Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial sites, including Cooper Cem, Spence Cem, and the Immanuel Lutheran Church Cem situated near the southern border. The town of Fairbury shows a detailed street plan, including historical residential corridors like E Walnut St and W Maple St, as well as Graceland Cem on its eastern edge. The division between McLean Co and Livingston Co runs north-to-south, marking a political boundary in a region dominated by agricultural tracts and small-town settlement patterns.
