2024 Map of Lexington

About this map

The Lexington area of McLean County is defined by its deep agricultural grid and the meandering path of the Mackinaw River across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The settlement of Meadow sits near the northern boundary, while Lexington dominates the south-central landscape, bounded by the modern interstate and historic routes like Old 66. The mapping of local cemeteries, including the Hibbs Bigger Cem and Clarksville Cem, offers a detailed record for genealogical research, identifying specific family-named burial sites across the township lines. The terrain is further shaped by the drainage patterns of Buck Creek and Turkey Creek, which cut through the level prairie. Notable landmarks like Thacker Airport and various rural roads such as Clarksville Rd and N 2180 East Rd illustrate the persistent importance of transportation in this central Illinois farming corridor.
