2015 Map of Ivesdale

About this map

Ivesdale sits at the convergence of three counties—Champaign, Piatt, and Douglas—serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape. The village's street grid, including Johnson St and S Sanford St, is clearly defined alongside the rail corridor that once supported its growth. Further east, Sloan Station marks a critical point in the local transportation network, while the surrounding prairie is intersected by a complex system of waterways and infrastructure designed for land management. The presence of Saint Joseph Cem and Rice Cem provides valuable landmarks for genealogists, situated near natural features like the Kaskaskia River and the Kankakee Drainage Ditch. This 2015 survey illustrates how the rectilinear county road system, such as Co Road 500 N, dictates the modern geography of this productive Illinois farm country.
