How to Use This Cornland, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cornland, 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 Cornland.

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.

About Cornland, Illinois

Cornland is a locality in Logan County, Illinois, United States. It is a small community with a population of 89. The population density is 361.7 people per km². Cornland is located at 39.9373°N, 89.4023°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 62519.

Cornland emerges from the flat, expansive horizon as a quiet collection of structures anchored to the deep, dark soil of central Illinois. It lies 14.7 miles south of Lincoln, IL (from Lincoln, IL: bearing 188°T), and is situated 9.7 miles northeast of Riverton. The landscape surrounding Cornland stretches in an endless, hypnotic geometry of green and gold, broken only by the thin, silver ribbon of Lake Fork, which meanders through the fields just a mile from the center. To the west, the subtle rise of Elkhart Hill interrupts the otherwise relentless levelness of the prairie, providing a singular point of elevation that catches the long, amber light of dusk. Air here carries the scent of turned earth and drying stalks, a heavy, fertile perfume that settles over the low-lying plains as the day cools and the shadows of grain elevators lengthen against the sky.

Cornland exists primarily as a quiet witness to the seasonal cycles of the agrarian economy, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the planting and the harvest. The proximity of Samuel H Jones Park provides a rare expanse of managed wildness seven miles away, offering a contrast to the orderly, industrial precision of the surrounding crops. While the nearby waters of Pine Lake offer a destination for those seeking a moment of stillness away from the machinery of the fields, the daily character of Cornland is defined by the steady, persistent labor of those who work the land. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture of the grain silos and the enduring resilience of a community that understands its place within the vast, quiet interior of the continent.

About This Cornland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cornland, Illinois. Coordinates: 39.937269, -89.402317. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Cornland includes the ZIP code (62519), telephone area code (217), county seat of Logan County (Lincoln), and school district assignment (Mount Pulaski Community Unit District 23).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
