How to Use This New Burnside, Illinois Map

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

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.

New Burnside occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent flow of Pond Creek carves a path through the earth, marking the local rhythm of the landscape. It lies 13.7 miles southeast of Marion, IL (from Marion, IL: bearing 140°T), and is situated 16.7 miles southwest of Harrisburg. The terrain is defined by the proximity of Wise Ridge, a looming presence that anchors the horizon just a mile away and dictates the slant of the afternoon light across the fields. Being physically encompassed by the Shawnee National Forest, New Burnside exists within a vast, protected woodland that softens the edges of the horizon and keeps the air heavy with the scent of damp leaves and ancient hardwood timber. The light here tends to linger in shades of pale gold, catching on the limestone outcroppings and the deep, shaded depressions of the forest floor, where the soil holds the memory of every season.

New Burnside carries the weight of a history rooted in the extraction of coal and the slow, steady labor of the land, industries that once dictated the pace of every household. While the mining shafts have long gone silent, the economic character of the region remains tethered to the rugged environment, with residents navigating the challenges of a landscape that demands resilience. The nearby Lake of Egypt offers a stillness that contrasts with the industrial echoes of the past, serving as a reminder of the water that shapes the surrounding basin. Those who travel through the region often find their way toward the more rugged terrain of Katy Reid Hollow or seek the hidden drop of Cedar Falls, both of which serve as reminders of the wilder geography that persists just beyond the cleared plots of New Burnside.
