How to Use This Ellery, Illinois Map

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

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.

Ellery occupies a quiet expanse of flat, fertile earth where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by anything save for the occasional silhouette of a silo or an ancient oak. It lies 41.0 miles east of Mount Vernon, IL (from Mount Vernon, IL: bearing 86°T), and is situated 5.3 miles west-southwest of Albion. The landscape around Ellery is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Ham Creek, which meanders through the low-lying fields just a mile away, carving a modest path through the silt. To the west, the gentle rise of Turkey Ridge marks the distant boundary of the view, a soft undulation against the pale Illinois sky that seems to hold the light long after the sun has begun its descent. Closer to home, the damp, rich soil of Beadles Barrens offers a sanctuary for wild grasses and native flora, while the stillness of Half Moon Pond, located three miles out, reflects the changing colors of the seasons with a mirror-like clarity.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Ellery, as the rhythm of planting and harvest dictates the tempo of daily life for those who work the vast, dark-soiled grids. The history of the area is tied to the labor of the plow and the steady persistence of families who have turned this land for generations, creating a culture built on quiet self-reliance and the simple geometry of rural industry. There is a particular stillness here during the mid-afternoon, when the wind settles into the tall crops and the distant hum of machinery fades into the background. Life in Ellery favors the patient observer, someone who notices how the air grows heavy and sweet with the scent of damp earth before a storm, or how the shadows lengthen across the gravel roads as the day draws to a close.
