2015 Map of Mount Pulaski

About this map

The Logan County seat of Mount Pulaski serves as the focal point for this 2015 survey, where the grid of historic streets like E Jefferson St and W Elkhart Rd meets the surrounding Illinois prairie. This landscape is defined by the meandering course of Salt Creek, which cuts a distinct path through the otherwise structured agricultural section lines. To the north, the small settlement of Chestervale and the prominent rise of Lockenauer Hill offer clues to the local topography and early community hubs. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of several burial grounds, including Mount Pulaski Cem, Downing Cem, and Bowers-Templeman Cem, each established along the roads and waterways that shaped the county's development. The map meticulously documents the intersection of rail and road infrastructure that has supported this rural economy for generations.
