2018 Map of Farmingdale

About this map

Farmingdale and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of western Sangamon County are documented here in detail. This territory, defined by the winding paths of Spring Cr and Prairie Cr, shows a pattern of rural settlement where small communities like Richland and Riddle Hill are connected by a grid of farm-to-market roads. Several family and community burial grounds, including Anderson Cem and Morgan Cem, are preserved in the terrain, offering significant primary-source locations for genealogical research. The map also captures the western fringes of Springfield as urban development begins to meet the established township lines of t16n r6w. Local transit history is visible through named routes like Stagecoach Rd and N Old Covered Bridge Ln, which trace the evolution of travel in the Illinois heartland.
