2018 Map of Macon East

About this map

Macon sits along the western edge of this central Illinois landscape, where the prairie transitions into a grid of rural agricultural lands. The territory is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of Finley Cr, Sand Cr, and Willow Br, which carve subtle paths through the township sections. A significant cultural landmark is found at the Long Grove Cem near the banks of Long Grove Cr, a site of genealogical importance for local families. The southern portion of the map identifies the jurisdictional divide between Macon Co and Shelby Co, marked by Hilvety Rd. Small-scale aviation history is noted at the Hilvety Airport, reflecting the local infrastructure of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The layout of the road network, including routes like W Andrews Street Rd and Riley Rd, illustrates the persistent township-and-range surveying system that has governed this region's development.
