2015 Map of Thomasboro

About this map

Thomasboro and the northern outskirts of Champaign and Urbana occupy this central Illinois landscape, defined by a grid of county roads and the infrastructure of the Grand Prairie. The map captures the transition from the dense urban street plans of neighborhoods like Wilbur Heights and Augerville to the expansive agricultural tracts surrounding Leverett. Several prominent burial sites are documented across the quadrangle, including Saint Elizabeth Cem in the north and Lincoln Cem and Woodlawn Cem to the south, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research. Aviation history is represented by Frasca Field, situated just north of the city limits. The Saline Br Drainage Ditch carves through the southeast, illustrating the managed water systems essential to maintaining the productivity of this fertile region during the early 21st century.
