About this map

The county seat of Carrollton dominates this 1983 survey, situated at the crossroads of several major regional routes and the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. The town center is clearly defined by the Courthouse and Po, while surrounding neighborhoods include High Sch and St Johns Sch. This landscape reflects a deep history of rural settlement and agriculture, characterized by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Pinkerton Cem, Hopewell Cem, and Elmdale Cem.

To the north, the meandering path of Apple Creek creates a distinctive riparian corridor, featuring the oxbow of Horseshoe Lake. The surrounding townships, including White Hall, Bluffdale, and Kane, are connected by a network of small settlements like Berdan, Kaser, and Woody. The presence of Believers Ch and various local landmarks provides a detailed record of the social and spiritual infrastructure of Greene County during the early 1980s.
