About this map

Carlinville and its eastern surroundings in Macoupin County are defined by the winding course of Macoupin Creek, which carves through the central landscape. The city itself is anchored by the campus of Blackburn College near its northeastern edge, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small settlements like Standard City, Schoper, and Womac. This area shows a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Gray Family Cem, Davis Cem, and Moore Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this part of Illinois.

The terrain rises toward Coops Mound to the east, while a network of drainage branches such as Sugar Cr, Richardson Br, and Hurricane Cr feed into the primary creek system. While much of the land is organized by rural roads like Standard City Rd and Mine Rd, the presence of numerous small cemeteries alongside agricultural sections illustrates the deep-rooted settlement patterns of this central Illinois region.
