2018 Map of Carrollton

About this map

The county seat of Carrollton serves as the primary hub of this Greene County landscape, where the street grid meets the agricultural reaches of the Illinois prairie. To the north, Apple Creek and its tributary Coates Cr wind through the terrain, creating a natural bypass for the small rail-side settlements of Berdan and Pegram. The map reveals a high concentration of rural burial sites, including the Pinkerton Number 1 Cem and the centrally located Hopewell Cem, which provide significant value for genealogists tracing local family histories. Smaller communities like Kaser and Woody are scattered along the section lines, while the Saint Johns Catholic Cem stands as a prominent landmark on the outskirts of the main town. The drainage patterns of Hurricane Cr and Link Br define the southwestern quadrant, illustrating how the local hydrology influenced the placement of farms and early homesteads.
