2015 Map of Athensville

About this map

Athensville sits at the heart of this landscape along the eastern edge of Greene County, where the terrain is intricately carved by several waterways. The drainage pattern is defined by the winding paths of Apple Creek and Negro Lick, which flow through a region marked by numerous small branches and deep-set hollows like Happy Hollow. This rural area exhibits a high density of small family and community burial grounds, essential for genealogical research. Prominent sites include the Athensville Cemetery, the Drake-Million Cemetery, and the Reeve-Mayberry Cemetery. To the south, the Woodbine Country Club Lake provides a notable point of interest amidst the agricultural fields and wooded draws. The map illustrates a developed network of county routes and rural roads, such as Possom Trot Road and Athensville Road, that connect the various farms and homesteads scattered across the county line near Macoupin County.
