About this map

The Mackinaw River winds through this central Illinois landscape where the borders of McLean, Livingston, and Ford counties meet. This region is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a grid of rural roads such as Co Rd 2100 N that connect small farming communities. The village of Sibley is the primary settlement, situated adjacent to Lake Sibley, a prominent local water feature that breaks the geometric patterns of the surrounding fields.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on this map, including Cropsey Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem. Smaller hamlets like Cropsey and Garber provide insight into the historical settlement patterns of the Illinois prairie. The drainage of the land is visible through a network of small waterways like Indian Cr and Drummer Cr, illustrating the relationship between the local geography and the productive farmland.
