How to Use This Leland Grove, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Leland Grove, 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 Leland Grove.
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.

Leland Grove is located at 39.7770°N, 89.6793°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Leland Grove is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 62704.Leland Grove occupies a quiet expanse of the Illinois prairie where the land holds the weight of long, level horizons. It lies 2.5 miles southwest of Springfield, IL (from Springfield, IL: bearing 228°T), and is situated 7.1 miles north of Chatham. The Jacksonville Branch snakes through the terrain with a low, deliberate gravity, carving a narrow path that defines the local topography. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the ground rises in subtle, ancient swells that eventually echo the distant silhouette of Sand Ridge on the horizon. The air here carries the scent of turned earth and the dry, rustling persistence of tall grasses, especially as the light flattens at dusk. Residents often walk the perimeter of Unknown Park, where the canopy provides a singular, cooling respite against the expansive, cloud-heavy sky that characterizes this inland stretch of the Midwest.
Leland Grove retains a character shaped by the steady, measured pace of a residential enclave that grew in the shadow of the state’s administrative center. The economy remains tethered to the broader regional stability of the Illinois plains, benefiting from a proximity to the institutional and professional life of the surrounding districts. Four miles to the east, the waters of Lake Springfield provide a steadying presence, anchoring the geography of the region and offering a mirror to the shifting colors of the changing seasons. History in Leland Grove is marked not by grand monuments, but by the preservation of quiet, tree-lined streets and the enduring patterns of neighborhood life. Life here proceeds with a functional, unadorned dignity, reflecting a landscape that demands little from the traveler other than an appreciation for the vast, quiet geometry of the plains.

About This Leland Grove Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Leland Grove, Illinois. Coordinates: 39.776995, -89.679267. 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 Leland Grove includes the ZIP code (62704), telephone area code (217), county seat of Sangamon County (Springfield), and school district assignment (Springfield School District 186).
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.
