About this map

Underwood serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of McLean County, situated along the corridor of Us-83. The community is well-connected by a grid of numbered avenues and streets, including Main St and Summit St. To the north, Riverdale Junction marks a significant waypoint for travelers and rail-adjacent commerce. The agricultural landscape is punctuated by several small cemeteries, such as Saint Johns Cem and Zoar Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this prairie region.

Water features are sparse, dominated by the notable Weller Slough to the south. Aviation plays a clear role in the local infrastructure, with both the Underwood Airport near the town center and the Circle Z Landing Strip Airport to the west. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a settled rural environment where traditional cemetery sites and modern transportation routes coexist.
