2018 Map of Macon West

About this map

Moweaqua and Blue Mound anchor this central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of country roads and local drainage. The map provides a detailed view of the rural-industrial interface, showing the small settlements of Macon and Walker alongside the paths of Mosquito Cr and Willow Br. Of particular interest to family historians is the high concentration of burial grounds dotting the prairie, including the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem, Bethel Cem, and the Adams Cem. The presence of the Cribbet Airport near the center of the sheet highlights the continuing utility of open lands, while the intersection of Macon and Christian county lines illustrates the administrative boundaries that have shaped local governance for generations.
