2015 Map of Weldon West

About this map

The agrarian landscapes of central Illinois define this 2015 study of the borderlands between De Witt Co and Macon Co. Centered on the upper reaches of Friends Cr, the terrain is dominated by a grid of rural routes like White Pigeon Rd and Central Rd that connect small settlements and family farms. The village of Weldon occupies the northeastern corner, while the community of Lane sits to the west along Broadway Rd. Local genealogy and land use are preserved through the identification of legacy sites such as Chandler Cem and Long Cem, which sit alongside the managed waterways of the Friends Cr Ditch. This era shows the continued integration of private aviation into the rural fabric, evidenced by the Martin RLA Airport located north of Jefferson Rd.
