2021 Map of Farmingdale

About this map

Farmingdale and Richland anchor the agricultural landscape west of the Illinois state capital. This survey of Sangamon County shows a transition from rural farmland to the western edges of Springfield, with traditional landmarks such as the Farmingdale Cemetery and Old Salem Cemetery providing key points of reference for local family history. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Spring Creek and Prairie Creek, which drain the low-lying prairie ground between the dispersed settlements of Riddle Hill and Curran. Transportation history is embedded in the road network, from named family routes like Taylor Homestead Road to the presence of the Richland Elevator Road, signaling the area's long-standing reliance on grain handling and rail-adjacent transit hubs.
