2015 Map of Sibley

About this map

The Mackinaw River headwaters emerge from the prairie landscape of Ford, McLean, and Livingston counties, defining the geography of this agricultural region. The village of Sibley sits at the eastern edge of the survey, characterized by Lake Sibley and the crossing of Indiana St and North 400E Rd. The settlement of Cropsey occupies the northwest, near the Cropsey Cem and the winding course of Henline Cr. This 2015 study illustrates the enduring grid of rural routes, including East 2100 N Rd, which connect remote farmsteads and localized landmarks. Genealogists may find value in the documentation of several burial sites, such as the Saint John's Lutheran Cem near the southern border and Mount Hope Cem situated between the primary settlements. The drainage patterns of Indian Cr and Drummer Cr reveal the natural hydrology that has supported the area's farming economy for generations.
