About this map

Farmer City anchors the northern edge of this central Illinois landscape, where the residential grid gives way to the agricultural expanses of the De Witt Co and Piatt Co borderlands. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek and the significant reach of Lake Clinton, which dominates the western central portion of the sheet. Smaller drainage features like Trenkle Slough and Friends Cr Ditch reveal the complex water management required for this productive prairie soil.

Rural life is marked by several small clusters and historical burial grounds, including the Maple Grove Cem and Saint Joseph Cem south of the city, and the isolated McCord Cem near the lake. Tiny hamlets like Parnell and Fullerton serve as waypoints along the rail lines and country roads, while the southern settlement of De Land stands near the headwaters of Goose Cr. This 2021 update preserves the exact layout of established family cemeteries and local infrastructure within this traditional farming region.
