2015 Map of Humboldt

About this map

Humboldt and the smaller settlement of Dorans anchor this Coles County landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain of central Illinois is etched by a network of local tributaries. The village of Humboldt is organized around a traditional street grid featuring Washington St, Broadway St, and Jefferson St, while the surrounding countryside is defined by the rigid geometry of county roads. Genealogists will find the Township Cem and Humboldt Cem preserved within these farm fields. The hydrography of the region is dominated by southern-flowing waters, including Flat Br, Crabapple Cr, and Riley Cr, while a segment of the Kaskaskia River cuts through the northwest corner. This 2015 data reflects the modern persistence of these small rural communities alongside established transportation corridors, including a subdivision at Northfield.
