2018 Map of Fairbury

About this map

Fairbury anchors the northeastern corner of this modern topographic study, showing a structured grid of residential streets and civic sites such as Graceland Cem. The landscape outside the town center is dominated by an extensive network of rural roads, including Co Hwy 22 and Co Hwy 8, which divide the terrain into large agricultural blocks. Small, family and church-affiliated burial grounds are scattered throughout the countryside, such as Spence Cem and the Immanuel Lutheran Church Cem, providing critical touchpoints for local genealogical research. To the northwest, the small community of Weston is situated near Weston Cem. The natural drainage of the region is defined by the winding paths of Indian Creek and Rooks Cr, which cut through the otherwise orderly township and range system of this Central Illinois prairie.
