How to Use This Blairsville, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Blairsville, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Blairsville.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Blairsville occupies a stretch of modest, hardworking earth where the low horizon is defined by the steady, rhythmic persistence of the regional plains. It lies 25.9 miles east-southeast of Mount Vernon, IL (from Mount Vernon, IL: bearing 113°T), and is situated 6.5 miles northeast of McLeansboro. The Wolf Creek Drain carves a quiet path through the landscape, its channel acting as a primary artery for the surrounding fields that stretch toward the faint, hazy silhouette of Fleming Ridge on the distant skyline. During the autumn months, the light here turns a brittle, pale gold, illuminating the stalks of grain and the dark, upturned soil that holds the memory of a long growing season. Only a few miles away, the quiet waters of Centerville Mens Club Lake mirror the expansive Midwestern sky, providing a still counterpoint to the movement of the wind through the tall grasses.

Blairsville grew from the foundations of a regional economy rooted in the extraction of coal and the cultivation of the surrounding acreage, a history that remains etched into the plain, functional architecture of its older buildings. The nearby Ten Mile Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area offers a sprawling expanse of managed woodland and habitat, serving as a reminder of the terrain as it existed before the plow and the mine took hold. Life in Blairsville moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, shaped by the cycles of the seasons and the demands of a landscape that asks for patience and labor in equal measure. There is a specific, grounded dignity in the way the local streets intersect, reflecting a place that has long prioritized utility and the slow, steady accumulation of daily work over the pretense of industry.
