2015 Map of Macomb

About this map

The Western Illinois University campus dominates the landscape north of downtown Macomb, serving as a central hub for this portion of McDonough County. The city is surrounded by a dense network of burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research, including Oakwood Cem, Macomb Cem, and the Old Catholic Cemetery. These sites are clustered around residential developments like East Village and Georgetown, while peripheral areas such as Lamone Village mark the transition toward the agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the East Fork La Moine River and its various tributaries, such as Killjordan Creek and Troublesome Creek. To the east, Smith Airport serves the local aviation needs, while smaller water bodies like Lake Michale and Cricketwood Green Lake provide local landmarks within the established street grid.
