2012 Map of Alsey

About this map

The small settlements of Alsey, Glasgow, and Barrow define this central Illinois landscape, clustered around a network of creek drainages including Big Sandy Cr and N Little Sandy Cr. The geography is notable for its unusually high density of family and community burial grounds, which serve as a primary record of the area's rural history. Genealogical landmarks are found across the townships, from the Cowhick Cem and Perkins Cem in the north to the Thompson Cem and Williams Edwards Cem near Barrow. The village of Glasgow is clearly delineated with its street grid, featuring W Main St and Market St, while nearby Alsey Lake and several smaller water bodies punctuate the agricultural terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the 2012 infrastructure, showing the connections between these established communities via roads like the Winchester Glasgow Rd.
