About this map

Macoupin Creek meanders through the central portion of this rural Illinois landscape, dividing the townships of Woodville and Kane. This early 1980s data illustrates a deeply agricultural region defined by its watercourses and a proliferation of family and community burial grounds that reflect generations of rural settlement. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries such as Mt Gilead Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Bell Salem Cem, often situated near early congregations like Mt Gilead Ch and Bethany Ch. The terrain transitions from the broad floodplains of the creek into more dissected upland areas like Shanks Hill. Distinctive local landmarks including Dodson Spring and John Dunham Spring indicate the importance of natural water sources in the development of the Boyer Creek and Sugar Creek valleys.
