2015 Map of Southwest Pontiac

About this map

Pontiac anchors the northern reaches of this Central Illinois landscape, where the town's grid expands southward toward the Pontiac Southside Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Rooks Creek, Pike Cr, and Turtle Cr, which cut through a predominantly agricultural grid of county roads. Further south, the small settlement of Ocoya sits along the transportation corridor that parallels the modern interstate, while the southern boundary near the Livingston and McLean line captures parts of Chenoa and Weston. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including Rook's Creek Cem, Payne Cem, and Calvary Catholic Cem. A notable piece of transit history is preserved here in the form of Old Route 66, which runs diagonally across the southwestern corner of the sheet.
