2018 Map of Mahomet

About this map

The Sangamon River meanders through the heart of the central Illinois prairie, anchoring the community of Mahomet as it expands toward the wooded river valley. By the late 2010s, this area shows a distinctive blend of traditional agriculture and residential growth, with modern developments like Spring Lake and the River Valley Rnch contrasting against the older rural grid. The map is a significant resource for those tracing local lineages, as it meticulously identifies numerous small burial grounds including Dunkard Cem, Argo Cem, and the Seymour Methodist Episcopal Cem. Further west, the village of Mansfield sits near the headwaters of Madden Cr, while the small settlement of Centerville marks the southern reach near the confluence of Camp Cr and S Fork Camp Cr. This survey illustrates how the landscape evolved around these watercourses and historical cemeteries as the region modernized.
