About this map

Middletown serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in central Illinois, situated at the junction of N Middletown Ave and Middletown Blacktop Ave. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek to the north and east, which creates distinct elevation changes near Polecat Hill. To the south, the smaller settlement of Croft sits along a grid of section roads like 900th St and 100th Ave.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites across the quadrangle, including Irish Grove Cem and Walnut Ridge Cem near the western boundary, as well as Evans Cem and Barnes Cem further east. The map also records the presence of the Leigh Farm Airport in the south-central portion, highlighting the integration of private aviation into the local farming economy. Small water features such as McMann Lake and Pike Cr break up the expansive tracts of cultivated land.
