2024 Map of Middletown

About this map

Middletown sits at the intersection of a sprawling rural grid in central Illinois, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek and its tributary, Pike Creek. This contemporary survey reveals a deeply rooted agricultural community where modern infrastructure like the Leigh Farm Airport coexists with generational landmarks. The map traces the county line between Logan and Menard counties, showing how local roads like County Highway 15 and Peoria Road connect the village to smaller settlements such as Croft. For family historians, the presence of numerous burying grounds, including Walnut Ridge Cem, Irish Grove Cem, Barnes Cem, and Evans Cem, offers a clear spatial record of the area's early families. The terrain rises subtly at Polecat Hill, providing one of the few prominent topographic features in a region otherwise dominated by organized section lines and creek-fed bottomlands.
