2021 Map of Macomb

About this map

Macomb and its surroundings in the early 2020s are defined by the convergence of institutional, civic, and natural features. The sprawling campus of Western Illinois University occupies the northwestern portion of the city, while the McDonough County Courthouse anchors the central downtown grid. The landscape is deeply carved by the East Fork La Moine River and its tributaries, including Killjordan Cr and Troublesome Cr, which create complex drainage patterns south of the primary settlement. A high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, such as Old Macomb Cem and Forest Lawn Cem, offers significant research value for those tracing the development of the community. Beyond the city limits, the settlement of Georgetown and the area of Wigwam Hollow highlight the residential expansion into the surrounding township lands.
