2024 Map of New City

About this map

Lake Springfield dominates the western portion of this Sangamon County landscape, creating a complex shoreline that separates the outskirts of Springfield from the more rural territories to the east. This area serves as a major educational and transit hub, anchored by the University of Illinois Springfield and Lincoln Land Community College. Southeast of the water, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural land and small settlements like New City and Beamington. A network of family-named cemeteries, including Joe Brunk Cem and Vigal Cem, are scattered across the landscape, providing significant points of interest for local genealogy. The South Fork Sangamon River and its tributaries, such as Horse Creek, carve through the eastern half of the map, defining the natural drainage patterns of this central Illinois prairie region.
