2012 Map of Ivesdale

About this map

Ivesdale and Sloan Station anchor this agricultural landscape in central Illinois, where the grid of rural roads defines the movement of people and goods. The town of Ivesdale sits at a central rail-aligned junction, featuring a compact street plan including 1st St and Co Line St. To the northeast, Sloan Station marks a specific point of transit along the rail corridor. This 2012 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in the region, dominated by the Kankakee Drainage Ditch and the meandering path of the Kaskaskia River. For those researching family history or local land use, the map identifies specific burial grounds such as Saint Joseph Cem near the rail line and Rice Cem to the southeast, both serving as permanent markers of the community's ancestral footprint in the fertile prairie.
