2021 Map of Middletown

About this map

Middletown serves as the primary hub of this Central Illinois landscape, where the convergence of Logan Co and Menard Co lines defines the local geography. The area's agricultural character is evidenced by a dense network of country roads, including the aptly named Honey Heart School Rd and Irish Grove Church Ave, which hint at earlier rural community centers. Along the northern reaches, Salt Creek winds past Polecat Hill, providing a distinct break in the otherwise steady terrain. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds, such as Irish Grove Cem and Walnut Ridge Cem. Further south, the small settlement of Croft and the Leigh Farm Airport represent later developments in a region that continues to be shaped by the drainages of Pike Cr and McMann Lake.
