2015 Map of Manito

About this map

Manito serves as the primary hub in this central Illinois landscape, situated at the junction of several local drainage ditches and road networks. The village is surrounded by a high density of rural burial sites, including Oak Grove Cemetery, Saint Fredrick's Catholic Cem, and Meadow Lawn Cem, which provide significant anchor points for local genealogical research. This area, spanning the border of Tazewell and Mason Counties, is characterized by a complex system of artificial waterways such as Hickory Grove Ditch and N Quiver Ditch, reflecting the intensive agricultural management of the region. Small settlements like Radville, Parkland, and Union are dispersed across the grid-iron road system, while Palmer Flying Service Inc highlights the local infrastructure in the north.
