2015 Map of Monticello

About this map

The Sangamon River carves a winding path through this central Illinois landscape, serving as the geographic anchor for Monticello and its surrounding rural townships. This 2015 survey captures the transition from the concentrated grid of the county seat to the sprawling agricultural tracts of Lodge, White Heath, and Centerville. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites across the prairie, including Woolington Cem, Marquiss Cem, and Bucks Pond Cem. The infrastructure of the modern era is well-defined by the presence of the Piatt County Airport and a complex road network that includes historical routes like Deland Monticello Rd and Crybaby Bridge Rd. Smaller waterways such as Goose Cr and Camp Creek further define the local drainage patterns and land boundaries in this quintessential Midwestern heartland.
