2021 Map of Le Roy

About this map

Le Roy serves as the primary hub of this Central Illinois landscape, where the town’s established grid gives way to the agricultural expanses of southern McLean County and northern DeWitt County. The map details the transition from the structured streets of the city, such as W Washington St and E School St, to the rural sections divided by a network of range and township roads. Waterways like W Fork Salt Cr and the North Fork Salt Creek carve through the prairie, defining the drainage patterns that have historically shaped the local farming economy. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several rural burial grounds, including Rutledge Cem, Gilmore Cem, and Walden Cem, which are clearly marked along the section lines and creek bends. Near the southern border, Clyde Vance Lake and the McLean Co De Witt Co boundary line provide distinct markers of the regional geography.
