2021 Map of Maroa

About this map

Maroa anchors the southern portion of this central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is interrupted by the meandering courses of Salt Creek and the N Fork Lake Fork. The town's layout, centered around streets like W Jackson St and E Jackson St, reflects a classic Midwestern rail-town geometry, even as the surrounding township remains dedicated to large-scale farming. To the north, the small settlement of Ospur sits near the winding Salt Creek, which flows past landmarks like Iron Bridge Rd and the waters of Banta Lakes. Local heritage is preserved at the Maroa Township Cem and the more remote Rose Cem in the northeast. The presence of Weldon Springs Lake suggests the region's managed water resources, while a dense network of county roads like Heritage Rd and Duroc Rd provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure spanning the border of De Witt and Macon counties.
