2021 Map of Mackinaw

About this map

The Mackinaw River and its tributary, the Little Mackinaw River, carve a distinct path through this section of central Illinois, where the boundaries of Woodford, McLean, and Tazewell counties converge. The village of Mackinaw anchors the southwest, situated near a series of crossings including Stout Bridge and Porter Bridge. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid, yet punctuated by numerous small burial grounds that speak to the area's early settlement history, such as Stumbaugh Cem, Hardscrabble Cem, and Bergen Cem. Development patterns vary from the established streets of Deer Creek and Goodfield in the north to the more modern residential layout around Heritage Lake. Water features like Spin Lake and Le Baube Lake contrast with the natural flow of Sargent Slough and Mud Cr, while Weishaupt Airport provides a small aviation footprint amidst the farms.
