About this map

Heyworth and Funks Grove anchor this Central Illinois landscape where the southern edge of McLean County meets De Witt County. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of Kickapoo Creek, including Short Point Creek, Long Point Creek, and Timber Creek. This 2018 survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where a grid of section-line roads such as Dixie Road and County Highway 36 connects widely spaced homesteads and agricultural tracts.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial sites across the townships, including Fremont Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, Halsey Cemetery, and Big Grove Cemetery. The map also traces the path of Old Route 66 through the northwestern corner near the timbered groves that give the area its name. Notable landmarks like Holland Field and the distinctive Camel Hump Road provide further geographic context for the local road network and topography.
