2021 Map of Stonington

About this map

Stonington serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in central Illinois, situated at the junction of Co Hwy 4 and N Main St. The surrounding terrain is defined by its subtle glacial features, most notably the elevations of Blue Mound and Long Mound which rise above the surrounding prairie. The region's drainage is managed by a network of waterways including Mosquito Cr and Buckhart Cr, with rural aviation playing a visible role in local transit as evidenced by Noland Farms RLA Airport, McCoy Airport, and McChristy Airport. Genealogical interest is anchored by the presence of Hall Cem near the Macon County line and Mount Zion Cem further west, both providing vital links to the area's early settlement history. The map meticulously records the grid of rural roads, such as Mosquito Creek Rd and Blue-Mound Rd, that has structured this farming community for generations.
