2018 Map of Southwest Pontiac

About this map

The agrarian landscape south of Pontiac is defined by the steady paths of Rooks Creek and Turtle Cr, which cut through the level terrain of Livingston County. This 2018 survey highlights the historical transport corridor of Old Rte 66, running parallel to modern infrastructure between the small settlements of Ocoya and Chenoa. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including the Pontiac Southside Cem near the city limits and the rural Rooks Creek Cem to the northwest. The intersection of local county roads like Co HWY 8 and E 1500 N RD reveals the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the transition across the Livingston and McLean County line is marked near the community of Weston, where the rural character remains largely unchanged from earlier eras.
