1979 Map of Carlinville East

About this map

Carlinville anchors the western edge of this Macoupin County landscape, where the campus of Blackburn College and the local Fairground transition into a countryside defined by small settlements and family-named landmarks. The terrain is carved by the meandering path of Macoupin Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Sugar Creek. Transportation history is visible through the Illinois Terminal and the Gulf Mobile And Ohio railroad, which supported the movement of goods and people between rural outposts like Standard City, Anderson, and Schoper. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds such as Yowell Cem and Moore Cem scattered across the townships of South Otter and Shaws Point. Further south, recreation and community sites like the Carlinville Country Club and Lake Williamson Christian Center sit near the confluence of local waterways, illustrating the late-century development of the region's natural valley.
