2021 Map of Thomasboro

About this map

Thomasboro sits at the northern edge of this Illinois prairie landscape, where the grid of rural county roads meets the expanding urban reach of Champaign and Urbana. This transition from agriculture to aviation and suburban development is marked by landmarks like Frasca Field and the Lincoln Memorial Gardens, alongside older community anchors such as Saint Elizabeth Cem and Yearsley Cem. The map reveals the importance of drainage in this flat terrain, notably the Saline Br Drainage Ditch which cuts across the southeastern sector near Augerville. Smaller settlements like Leverett and Wilbur Heights illustrate the historical clusters that formed around crossroads and transportation corridors before the modern regional expansion. The detailed road network, including N Cunningham Ave and numerous numbered county roads like Co RD 33, underscores the area's role as a vital connection point between the surrounding farmland and the university city hub.
