About this map

Caplinger Mills sits at a prominent bend in the Sac River, where the Sac River Reservoir meets the natural flow of the waterway. This 2015 topography shows a landscape defined by deeply incised drainages like Vilhauer Hollow and Wright Hollow, which feed into the river system. The surrounding terrain is dotted with small agricultural settlements and rural junctions such as Blackjack and Hackleman Corner.

Genealogists can identify several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Preston Cemetery and Rookins Cemetery. The geography reveals a mix of limestone bluffs and unique geological features, most notably the Haynie Branch Natural Bridges in the northeastern quadrant. Significant elevation changes are marked by Moore Bluff and the Coal Bank Hills, illustrating the transition from river bottomlands to the upland ridges of St. Clair and Cedar Counties.
