About this map

Harristown and the surrounding Macon County countryside are defined by a network of rural roads and the winding course of the Sangamon River. In this 2012 snapshot of central Illinois, the landscape reveals a dense distribution of small family and community burial grounds, such as Muirheid Cem, Whitley Cem, and Crum Cem, which provide significant anchor points for local genealogical research.

Transport and recreation intersect at several landmarks, including the Lincoln Trail Bridge crossing the river and the Scovill Municipal Golf Course near Wyckles Corners. The map details smaller named locales like Boody, Blackland, and Bulldog Crossing, alongside modern infrastructure like the Macon County Memorial Park. Waterways such as Spring Cr and Smiths Br drain the fertile plains, illustrating the enduring agricultural character of the region south of the Harristown settlement.
