2015 Map of Roanoke

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Woodford County unfolds across this 2015 survey, anchored by the village of Roanoke and the western edge of Benson. This territory is defined by the headwaters of several streams, including Snake Cr, Snag Cr, and Hallenback Cr, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the productive Illinois prairie. The map provides significant genealogical value through its meticulous labeling of numerous rural burial sites. Researchers can locate the Apostolic Christian Cem and Mennonite Cem southwest of the primary settlement, while the Saint Peter Lutheran Cem and Trinity Cem serve the northern farming community. A network of county roads, such as Co Road 1800 N and Co Road 1800 E, maintains the traditional township grid system, though the diagonal route of Illinois 116/117 breaks the pattern as it passes through the heart of Roanoke and near the Roanoke Cem.
