How to Use This Middlegrove, Illinois Map

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

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.

Middlegrove emerges from the vast, level expanse of the Illinois prairie as a collection of quiet streets defined by the long, golden reach of the Midwestern sun. It lies 10.7 miles north-northwest of Canton, IL (from Canton, IL: bearing 342°T), and is situated 8.6 miles southwest of Elmwood. The horizon here is dominated by the rhythmic alternation of corn and soybean fields, a landscape that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Hoxie Ridge. Only a mile away, the quiet flow of North Branch Coal Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the silt, providing a cool, shaded corridor for the local wildlife. Three miles to the east, the stillness of Midland Employee Lake reflects the shifting clouds, its surface serving as a mirror to the immense, open sky that characterizes this central Illinois terrain.

Middlegrove bears the marks of a history deeply tethered to the extraction of the earth’s resources, an industry that once dictated the pace of daily life and shaped the sturdy architecture of its older buildings. The local economy persists as a blend of traditional agricultural labor and the quiet, persistent work of those who maintain the region’s infrastructure. Residents find a familiar sanctuary at the Hiram Wildlife Arealker Rod and Gun, a place where the connection to the land remains tangible and unhurried. Whether moving through the light of early morning or the cooling shadows of dusk, the people of Middlegrove maintain an existence defined by the seasonal cycles of the fields and the subtle, enduring character of a life lived far from the turbulence of urban centers.

About This Middlegrove Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Middlegrove, Illinois. Coordinates: 40.704483, -90.099563. 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 Middlegrove includes the ZIP code (61531, 62345), telephone area code (815, 217), county seat of Fulton County (Lewistown), and school district assignment.

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.
