Explore Hollowayville, Illinois, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hollowayville, 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 Hollowayville.
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.

Hollowayville occupies a quiet expanse of the Illinois prairie where the horizon stretches flat and wide, broken only by the deliberate geometry of corn and soybean fields. It lies 23.6 miles west of Ottawa, IL (from Ottawa, IL: bearing 273°T), and is situated 9.1 miles west-northwest of Peru. The earth here is heavy and dark, a fertile loam that dictates the slow, seasonal pulse of the landscape and anchors the spirit to the soil. A mile to the west, Negro Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the terrain, its banks lined with brush that catches the golden light of the late afternoon. Two miles distant, North Gypsum Pond offers a still, reflective surface that mirrors the vast Midwestern sky, while the distant, hazy silhouette of High Ridge marks the edge of the world against the clouds. Even the air feels distinct, carrying the scent of drying stalks and the crisp, clean draft that flows from the open plains toward the modest dwellings of Hollowayville.
Hollowayville emerged from the labor of early settlers who recognized the agricultural potential of this inland reach, establishing a rhythm of life defined by the harvest and the changing seasons. The local economy remains tethered to the land, an enduring cycle of planting and reaping that keeps the pace of daily existence measured and predictable. Residents often find respite in the quiet trails of White City Park, a two-mile retreat where the encroaching stillness of the countryside provides a necessary counterpoint to the demands of modern work. While the deeper depressions of Wolf Hollow lie four miles away, the immediate geography remains defined by the open, unassuming character of the fields that surround the settlement. Life here is marked by the simple persistence of the seasons, where the primary history is written in the steady, recurring growth of the crops and the enduring social bonds formed across the flat, expansive landscape.

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.
