2021 Map of Mansfield

About this map

The boundary between De Witt County and Piatt County divides this agricultural landscape of central Illinois, where the village of Mansfield serves as a local hub. The terrain is defined by its drainage network, including the slow-moving Salt Creek and Trenkle Slough in the northwest, and Goose Creek winding southward toward the settlement of Galesville. Transportation is anchored by the corridor of Old US 150 and Route 150, which connect Mansfield to Harris and Farmer City. This area maintains a strong rural character with specialized aviation facilities like Van Gorder Airport and Niklaus RLA Airport positioned among the fields. Genealogists and local historians can find established burial grounds including Mansfield Cemetery near the village and the more isolated Mackey Cemetery to the southeast, both of which anchor the long-settled farming families of these two counties.
