2018 Map of Le Roy

About this map

Le Roy serves as the primary urban center for this section of McLean County, characterized by a tight residential grid bounded by the modern interstate and local routes like Co Hwy 21. The surrounding landscape is defined by the agricultural sections of Central Illinois, where the drainage of the W Fork Salt Cr and the North Fork Salt Creek meanders through the township lines of t22n r4e and t21n r4e. These waterways have historically dictated the placement of small, localized landmarks that remain essential for genealogical research. Scattered among the farm roads are several early burial grounds, including Rutledge Cem to the west, Gilmore Cem near the town's edge, and Walden Cem further south toward the De Witt County line. The presence of Clyde Vance Lake adds a distinct water feature to the otherwise structured rural topography.
