2024 Map of Mackinaw

About this map

The Mackinaw River winds through central Illinois, carving a path between the settlements of Mackinaw and Goodfield. This 2024 map documents a landscape where the river's drainage network, including Alloway Creek, Hollands Creek, and Rock Creek, dictates the placement of rural roads and homesteads. The area around the river valley is particularly rich in cemeteries that speak to the region's long-established communities, from Hardscrabble Cem in the north to the Mackinaw Cem near the town center. Modern residential and recreational developments are evident in the clustering around Heritage Lake and Spin Lake, contrasting with the more traditional farmland grid of Tazewell, Woodford, and McLean Counties. Further south, the map details the terrain surrounding Lilly and the smaller Little Mackinaw River, where Hill Cem and Bergen Cem mark the historical burial grounds of local families.
