2015 Map of Piper City

About this map

Piper City occupies the southern edge of this Ford County landscape, where the town's residential grid is defined by streets like W Vine St and E Chestnut St. The surrounding countryside is a study in precision agricultural surveying, marked by an extensive network of numbered roads such as East 2800N Rd and North 1400E Rd that cross the prairie in a strict cardinal grid. This rectilinear pattern is interrupted only by the natural, meandering paths of the North Fork Vermilion River and Kelly Creek, which provide the primary drainage for the region. A notable point of local infrastructure is Read Airport, situated in the central-eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map also clearly delineates the political boundaries between neighboring Livingston and Iroquois counties, reflecting the historical division of this fertile Illinois farm country.
