2012 Map of Salisbury

About this map

The Sangamon River meanders through this portion of Menard and Sangamon Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by pioneer-era history and modern recreation. Cultural landmarks like the Old Grist Mill and the Rutledge-Camron Saw and Grist Mill speak to the early industrial foundations of the region, while the Kelso Hollow Amphitheater near Lake Petersburg reflects its later development as a community hub. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many burial grounds, including the Farmers Point Cem, Richland Baptist Cem, and Salisbury Cem. Small settlements like Tice, Lewisburg, and Salisbury are connected by a network of rural roads such as the Athens Blacktop and Pritchettville Rd, illustrating the persistent agricultural character of the Illinois prairie alongside winding tributaries like Richland Cr and Rock Cr.
