About this map

Carrollton serves as the central hub of this Illinois landscape, dominated by the formal grid surrounding the Greene County Courthouse. The town is the primary anchor for the surrounding agricultural region, with roads extending toward smaller communities such as Berdan to the northeast and Woody in the south. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Apple Creek and its associated Horseshoe Lake, which carve through the northern plains alongside other drainages like Hurricane Creek and Coates Creek.

For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with family-named landmarks and historical burial sites. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered across the rural townships, including Pinkerton Number 1 Cemetery, Elm Dale Cemetery, and Stith Cemetery. These sites, along with the Saint Johns Catholic Cemetery in the county seat, provide a clear record of the settlement patterns and established families that have shaped Greene County over generations.
