1983 Map of Southwest Pontiac

About this map

The State Correctional Center and the southern reaches of Pontiac anchor the northeastern corner of this Central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is interrupted by the winding courses of Rooks Creek and Turtle Creek. The map documents a transportation-heavy corridor, with the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and several private airfields, including the Seeman Landing Strip and Harris Landing Strip, supporting the local economy. Further south, the small settlement of Ocoya sits near a significant Quarry operation, while the northern edge of Chenoa enters the frame at the McLean County border. Genealogists will find the City Cem, Calvary Cem, and Payne Cem clearly marked, alongside civic landmarks like Humiston Park and Lincoln Sch that define the community's mid-century footprint.
