About this map

The village of Tolono serves as a primary hub in this central Illinois landscape, where a dense grid of local roads and the intersection of modern transit lines shape the community. Further west, Sadorus remains a distinct settlement anchored along the banks of the Kaskaskia Ditch, reflecting the agricultural and drainage history of Champaign County. The area is exceptionally rich in genealogical landmarks, with numerous burying grounds such as Saint Marys Cem, Saint Patrick Cem, and Bailey Memorial Cem providing vital touchpoints for local family history research.

Smaller named locales like Jimtown and Parkville dot the western reaches near the Kaskaskia River, while a network of waterways including Tuomile Slough and Hackett Br define the drainage patterns across these expansive fields. The map reveals the meticulous subdivision of the prairie, from the residential streets of Tolono like E Main St and N Vorcey St to the sprawling section lines of the surrounding townships.
