About this map

Taylorville serves as the central hub for Christian County, Illinois, on this 2018 survey, which reveals a landscape defined by its grid of rural roads and water management systems. To the southeast, the wide expanse of Taylorville Lake and the smaller Bertinetti Lake illustrate the area's development of water resources, while the South Fork Sangamon River meanders through the southern bottomlands. The map provides a detailed view of the town's street plan, including Knute Rockne Dr and Northwestern Ave, alongside the Taylorville Municipal Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like the Oak Hill Cem on the town's eastern edge, or smaller burial grounds such as Young Cem and Langley Cem. The settlements of Sharpsburg in the northwest and Langleyville to the west offer glimpses into the smaller communities that dot this agricultural region, connected by established routes like W Springfield Rd and the Taylorville Rd.
