2018 Map of Morton

About this map

Morton stands as a significant hub of suburban and agricultural life in central Illinois, anchored by its extensive street grid and proximity to the Mackinaw River. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous creeks including Prairie Creek, Bull Run, and Deer Creek, which carve through the till plains toward the river in the southeast. This 2018 survey reveals a territory dense with genealogical markers, from the Old Apostolic Cemetery and Apostolic Christian Cemetery to outlying family-named sites like the Buckeye Cemetery and Winzeler Cemetery. Smaller settlements such as Allentown and the northern edge of Tremont provide a clear view of the transition from residential neighborhoods to the broad farming tracts of Tazewell County. Recreational areas like Wilman Sportsman Club East Lake and landmarks such as the Vaughter Bridge illustrate the community's relationship with its local water resources.
