1998 Map of New City

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Lake Springfield dominates the northwestern corner of this quadrangle, its shoreline serving as a recreational and educational hub for the region at the close of the 20th century. Along its banks, Sangamon State University and Lincoln Greens Golf Course mark the suburban reach of Springfield, while the Lindsay Bridge provides a vital connection across the water. The landscape transitions quickly from these developed areas into the agricultural heart of Sangamon County, where the Sangamon River and its South Fork meander through the terrain. Small settlements and rural junctions like New City and Beamington reflect a persistent 19th-century settlement pattern, anchored by numerous family and community burial grounds including Mottarville Cem, Brunk Cem, and Zion Cem. This 1998 snapshot captures the intersection of expanding university life and the steady, enduring presence of Illinois prairie farming communities.
