About this map

The Mackinaw River winds through this central Illinois landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region near the borders of Ford and McLean counties. The village of Sibley stands as a focal point in the east, situated adjacent to Lake Sibley and featuring a residential grid with streets such as Michigan St and Illinois St. To the west, the community of Cropsey is marked by its local post office, providing a glimpse into the small-town infrastructure that supports the surrounding farmstead network.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Mount Hope Cem near the lake, Cropsey Cem, and the more remote Saint John's Lutheran Cem to the southwest. The terrain is further etched by several drainage systems, with Indian Cr, Henline Cr, and Drummer Cr creating a complex hydrological pattern across the otherwise orderly section-line road system. The small settlement of Garber sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle, connected by the North 400E Road corridor.
