2012 Map of Funks Grove

About this map

Funks Grove serves as the focal point for this section of McLean County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of Kickapoo Cr and its tributaries. The map documents a rural environment shaped by the intersection of traditional travel routes and modern aviation, notably featuring Old Route 66 cutting across the northwestern corner. The distribution of family and community landmarks provides significant detail for local historians, with sites like Fremont Cem, Fairview Cem, and Halsey Cem preserved among the grid of county roads. Small-scale aviation is a distinct characteristic of the area, evidenced by the presence of Holland Field Airport, WM Quinton RLA Airport, and the Holt Landing Strip. This drainage basin, which includes Short Point Cr and Long Point Cr, reflects the persistent drainage patterns that have dictated field boundaries and farm placement for generations.
