2015 Map of Litchfield

About this map

Litchfield serves as the central hub of this Central Illinois region, situated at the boundary of Macoupin and Montgomery counties. The town's grid is dense with residential and commercial activity, transitioning into a landscape defined by significant infrastructure and family-history landmarks. To the west, the small settlement of Hornsby sits near the winding course of Cahokia Creek, while the Litchfield Municipal Airport and Interstate 55 corridor represent the area's modern transportation role. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the countryside, ranging from the large Elmwood Cemetery and Elm Lawn Memorial Park near town to smaller rural sites such as Karnes Cemetery, Kinder Cemetery, and Farrar Cemetery. The local topography is carved by numerous tributaries including Threemile Branch, Shop Creek, and Crabtree Branch, which feed into local reservoirs like Walton Lake and Kilton Lake.
