About this map

Le Roy serves as the primary municipal anchor at the northern edge of this McLean County landscape, where the grid of residential streets like N Walnut St and E Center St meets the open agricultural expanse of Central Illinois. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of W Fork Salt Cr and the North Fork Salt Creek, which drain toward the small settlement of Solomon in the south.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved among the fields, including Rutledge Cem, Gilmore Cem, and Walden Cem, each serving as a landmark of the area's early families. The intersection of modern transportation and natural features is evident where the highway corridor cuts through the northern section, passing near Clyde Vance Lake. The map illustrates a stable rural geography where section line roads like N 2100 E Rd maintain the long-standing 19th-century survey patterns.
