2018 Map of Litchfield

About this map

Litchfield serves as the central hub of this Central Illinois survey, showing a dense street grid punctuated by civic landmarks and a collection of significant cemeteries. To the east, Elmwood Cem and Holy Cross Cem border the town, while smaller family and local burial sites like Karnes Cem and Kinder Cem are found across the rural landscape to the west. The transition from the developed core of Litchfield to the surrounding agricultural land is defined by a network of drainage systems including Cahokia Cr and Shop Cr. The inclusion of the Litchfield Municipal Airport and the modern highway corridor illustrates the area's mid-to-late 20th-century infrastructure expansion. Local history researchers can also identify the small settlement of Hornsby and the county line between Macoupin and Montgomery counties, which cuts vertically through the quadrangle.
