USGS Topo · Published 1928About this map
Macoupin Creek and its winding tributaries define the rural landscape of this southwestern Illinois region in the 1920s. This survey illustrates a densely settled agricultural grid across Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin Counties, where small towns like Medora, Shipman, and Brighton served as vital hubs for the surrounding farming community. The area is exceptionally well-documented for its social infrastructure, featuring dozens of country schools such as Washington School and Brush College School, alongside landmarks like Paradise Church.
