About this map

Athensville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Greene County, where the terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainage branches and creeks. The intricate topography is defined by the winding course of Apple Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Apple Creek, Negro Lick, and Cole Branch. These waterways have carved out distinct features like Happy Hollow, creating a complex environment of ridges and valleys that dictate the local road network.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial sites scattered across the township, such as the Reeve - Maberry Cem and Vandaver Cem. The map tracks the Greene and Macoupin County line, showing how rural routes like Possum Trot Rd and Range Rd navigate the uneven ground. Near the southern border, the Woodbine Country Club Lake offers a notable contrast to the surrounding farm and timber lands.
