1997 Map of Macomb

About this map

The Western Illinois University campus and the surrounding city of Macomb dominate this late-century landscape at the confluence of the La Moine River and its various forks. The map reveals the intricate urban grid of the county seat, centered on the Courthouse, City Hall, and Post Office, while following the expansion of residential streets like Pierce St and Adams St. Beyond the urban core, the terrain is defined by its numerous rural burying grounds, including Simpson Cem to the north and the clustered Strader Cem and Wayland Cem in the southwest corner.
