How to Use This Donnellson, Illinois Map

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

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.

Donnellson occupies a quiet stretch of Illinois prairie where the horizon widens into an endless, rhythmic expanse of sky and soil. It lies 22.6 miles north-northeast of Highland, IL (from Highland, IL: bearing 28°T), and is situated 9.9 miles north-northwest of Greenville. Yankee Creek cuts a persistent, winding path through the landscape, its banks lined with the tangled, deep-rooted growth of native hardwoods that break the monotony of the flat, productive fields. To the southeast, the terrain rises slightly toward the distant silhouette of Robbs Mound, which serves as a constant, silent anchor against the shifting light of the afternoon. Only three miles away, the waters of Coffeen Lake hold the reflection of the clouds, providing a cool, expansive stillness that contrasts with the dry, rustling amber of the surrounding corn and soybean crops.

Donnellson remains defined by the patient labor of those who work the land, a tradition that has dictated the pace of life since the earliest settlers broke the heavy, fertile ground. The local economy stays tethered to the seasonal cycles of agriculture, even as the nearby Coffeen Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area draws those seeking the quiet solitude of the woods and wetlands. In the stillness of an evening, one can hear the faint, mechanical hum of distant machinery, a sound that serves as a reminder of the industry required to keep the region moving. Donnellson exists as a place where the architecture of the past—simple, sturdy, and unadorned—remains in conversation with the vast, open space that surrounds every house and barn, grounding the residents in a long-standing pattern of endurance and neighborly resolve.

About This Donnellson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Donnellson, Illinois. Coordinates: 39.027824, -89.473418. 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 Donnellson includes the ZIP code (62019), telephone area code (309), county seat of Montgomery County (Hillsboro), and school district assignment (Hillsboro Community Unit School District 3).

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.
