About this map

Lincoln serves as the focal point of this Central Illinois landscape, where the intersection of education and transportation defines the city's eastern reaches. The map highlights the campuses of Lincoln College and Lincoln Christian College and Seminary, situated near the residential grids of Wyatt Ave and Pulaski St. The surrounding Logan County terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Kickapoo Creek and Deer Creek, which meander through a patchwork of agricultural sections and rural settlements like Lawndale and Skelton.

Modern infrastructure is clearly documented, from the busy corridors of I-55 and I-55 BL to the historical alignment of Old Route 66. For local historians, the placement of several burial grounds, including Lawndale Union Cemetery and Zion Cemetery, alongside specialized facilities like the Logan County Airport and Minder Airport, provides a clear view of the area's development and community organization in the early 21st century.
