About this map

Western Illinois University anchors the northwestern reaches of this West-Central Illinois landscape, where the academic campus meets the residential expansion of Macomb. The city serves as a hub of civic infrastructure, concentrated around the central Courthouse, Post Office, and City Hall. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the East Fork La Moine River and its tributaries, including Spring Creek and Killjordan Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural and municipal burial grounds, ranging from Oakwood Cem and St Pauls Cem near the city center to outlying sites like Bailey Cem and Simpson Cem. The transition from urban center to the surrounding agricultural townships of Emmet, Chalmers, and Scotland is marked by community landmarks such as Aldersgate Ch and the Macomb Clugston Airport.
