2018 Map of Petersburg

About this map

Petersburg sits prominently in the lower-left quadrant of this Menard County landscape, positioned along the banks of the Sangamon River. The terrain is defined by the winding river valley and its tributaries, including Concord Cr, Indian Cr, and Cabiness Cr, which carve through the central Illinois prairie. A notable density of burial sites suggests a long-established local genealogy, with numerous small and larger cemeteries such as Oakland Cem, Calvary Cem, Rosehill Cem, and the unique Baker-Prairie Number 1 Cem and Baker Prairie Number 2 Cem dotted across the countryside.
