2015 Map of Taylorville

About this map

Taylorville serves as the focal point of this Christian County survey, positioned at the convergence of several major regional drainage systems. The South Fork Sangamon River winds along the southern edge of the city, joined by tributaries like Panther Cr and Brush Cr, while the expansive Taylorville Lake dominates the southeast corner. To the west, the settlement of Langleyville sits near the Langley Cem, reflecting the area's agricultural and small-town heritage. The map documents a transition in land use, showing the Taylorville Municipal Airport situated near historic family landmarks like Young Cem. To the north, Sharpsburg remains a distinct community connected by a grid of rural roads. This documentation of the river valley and its surrounding settlements captures the spatial relationship between the town's expanding residential grid and the permanent natural features of the Sangamon watershed.
