About this map

The Taylorville street grid centers this Illinois landscape, showing the Christian County seat at a period of established growth. To the southeast, the substantial waters of Lake Taylorville are bounded by recreational and residential developments like Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. The map documents the city's civic infrastructure, from the Po and Christian County Fairground to the Taylorville Municipal Airport on the southern outskirts.

Surrounding the urban center, the agrarian character of the county is evident in the grid of rural roads and scattered small settlements like Langleyville and Sharpsburg. Waterways including the S Fork Sangamon River, Panther Cr, and Flat Br wind through the countryside, punctuated by local landmarks such as Sharp Farms. For those tracing local families, several burial sites are recorded, including Oak Hill Cem, Langley Cem, and Young Cem.
