2024 Map of Salisbury
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The Sangamon River carves a winding path through this portion of central Illinois, where the border between Menard Co and Sangamon Co meets near the settlement of Salisbury. The landscape is a mix of wooded creek valleys and agricultural plateaus, punctuated by small communities like Lewisburg and Tice. Of particular interest to local historians is the site of New Salem Village and the adjacent Old Salem Chautauqua, areas deeply connected to the early life of Abraham Lincoln. To the west, the man-made Lake Petersburg creates a distinct residential and recreational geography. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Farmers Point Cem, Hickory Grove Cem, and the Richland Baptist Cem located along the southern reaches of Richland Creek.
