2012 Map of Springfield East

About this map

The Sangamon River meanders through this landscape east of Illinois' state capital, framing a region defined by its memorials and suburban growth. The significant grounds of the Camp Butler National Cem and Roselawn Memorial Park Cem occupy the central portion of the map, highlighting the area's role as a site of remembrance. To the south, the waters of Lake Springfield reach toward settlements like Southlawn and Shale Bluff, while the S Fork Sangamon River joins the main branch near Riverton. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is evident in the Sangamon Avenue Interchange and local airstrips like Stanton Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the developed outskirts of Arlington Heights and Grandview to the more open lands surrounding Barclay and Derry Farm.
