About this map

Collinsville and Troy anchor this detailed study of the Madison and St. Clair county line in the mid-2010s. The landscape is a complex tapestry of suburban expansion and deep-rooted local history, evidenced by an exceptional density of family and denominational burial grounds. From the Krome Family Cem in the west to the Fehmel Family Cem in the east, these sites offer significant data for genealogical research. The map also documents legacy locations such as the Lemen Settlement Rd and the smaller community of Donkville.

Physical geography is marked by the elevations of Browns Mound and the drainages of Canteen Cr and Judys Br. This era shows the mature highway network including Formosa Junction and Troy Crossing, which reshaped the area's development. Local institutions like the Clay School and various churches, including Saint Peter and Paul Catholic Cem, reflect the social fabric of these Illinois communities during this period.
