2015 Map of Farmer City North

About this map

McLean and De Witt counties meet along a surveyed boundary line in this central Illinois landscape, where the N Fork Salt Cr meanders through a grid of rural routes. The area is anchored by the larger settlements of Le Roy in the northwest and Farmer City in the southeast, connected by a prominent diagonal transportation corridor. Between these centers lie smaller locales such as Empire, Watkins, and Sabina, which reflect the region's agricultural history and rail-adjacent development. Genealogists will find the Oak Grove Cem and Howard Cem tucked away near the northern creek fork, providing specific locations for ancestral research. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear road system, including named thoroughfares like Prairie Chapel Rd and Depot Rd, which organized the prairie into a productive farm belt.
