2021 Map of Boyer Creek

About this map

Macoupin Creek meanders across this rural landscape along the boundary of Greene Co and Jersey Co, defining a terrain of carved valleys and ridge-top cemeteries. The map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Houseman Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Belt Salem Cem, which speak to the deep-rooted genealogical history of these Illinois townships. Transportation is marked by a network of county roads including Bethany Church Rd and Washington School Rd, names that hint at former local landmarks now vanished or transitioned. Hydrological features like John Dunham Spring and Dobson Spring emerge from the hollows, while the deeply incised paths of Dark Hollow and Tar Hollow break the upland agricultural plains.
