2018 Map of Athensville

About this map

Athensville sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Greene County, where the township lines of t12n r10w and t12n r9w meet. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Apple Cr, Negro Lick, and Bear Cr, creating a complex network of ridges and hollows such as Happy Hollow. This 2018 survey reveals a high density of rural burial sites, including the Athensville Cem, Reeve-Mayberry Cem, and Sheppard Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Woodbine Country Club Lake provides a rare structured water feature amidst the natural flow of Cole Br and Little Bear Cr. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, where the boundary between Greene Co and Macoupin Co is defined by a grid of county roads and the natural path of Rubicon Cr.
