About this map

Mackinaw sits at the heart of this Central Illinois landscape, where the Mackinaw River and its tributary, the Little Mackinaw River, carve a winding path through the prairie. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of Mackinaw to the planned residential layout surrounding Heritage Lake and Maraldo Lake. This 2018 survey reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Hardscrabble Cem and Stumbaugh Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Tazewell and Woodford Counties.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by several historic crossing points, including Stout Bridge, Amerman Bridge, and Porter Bridge. The rural character is punctuated by the presence of Weishaupt Airport and the small settlement of Lilly. Water features like Sargent Slough and Le Baube Lake illustrate the complex hydrology of the river bottomlands, while the road network connects established towns like Goodfield and Deer Creek across the county lines.
