2015 Map of Morton

About this map

Morton serves as a primary hub of activity in this 2015 study, with its grid of residential streets and religious landmarks like the Old Apostolic Cem and Apostolic Christian Cem. Outside the main settlement, the landscape of Tazewell County transitions into an intricate network of waterways including the Mackinaw River, Prairie Cr, and Bull Run. Smaller communities such as Allentown and Mayfair appear alongside scattered family-named cemeteries, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural and local history of the region. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous rural burial grounds like Winzeler Cem, Buckeye Cem, and Landes Cem that dot the countryside. Near the southern border, the Vaughter Bridge crosses the river, while the proximity of Tremont and Mackinaw shows the connectivity between these central Illinois towns.
