About this map

Rantoul serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by the convergence of major transit corridors and aviation infrastructure in Champaign County. The Rantoul National Aviation Center Airport-Frank Elliott Field occupies a significant portion of the town's southern footprint, anchoring the local geography alongside residential expansions like those found along E Sangamon Ave and Veterans Pkwy. Beyond the urban core, the map reveals a meticulously organized grid of agricultural land and rural clusters.

Small settlements and farmsteads such as Tomlinson, Prospect, and Gordon Farms are interspersed among the drainages of Wildcat Slough. For those researching local history or genealogy, several burial sites are clearly marked, including Eden Cem, Maplewood Cem, and Ludlow Cem. The transition from town to country is further illustrated by recreational sites like Brookhill Golf Course and Willow Pond Golf Course, which border the edge of the developing street network.
