2021 Map of Taylorville

About this map

Taylorville serves as the central hub of this Central Illinois landscape, where a dense grid of streets meets the winding course of the South Fork Sangamon River. The settlement pattern follows a clear transition from the urban core to the outlying communities of Langleyville and Sharpsburg, both connected by a network of sectional roads and the historic route of Old Rte 29. This survey highlights the local geography where the river and its tributaries, such as Panther Cr and Bear Cr, carve through the prairie terrain, creating the basin for Taylorville Lake in the southeast. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial sites, including Oak Hill Cem, Langley Cem, and Young Cem. Notable infrastructure such as the Taylorville Municipal Airport and Glen Haven Memorial Gardens underscores the region's development as a Christian County seat and agricultural center.
