About this map

Dahlgren and Belle Rive anchor this landscape along the border of Jefferson and Hamilton counties, where the terrain transitions from agricultural uplands into the drainage basins of Big Creek and Middle Creek. The area is characterized by a high density of local burial sites, reflecting generations of settlement history and family legacies in southern Illinois. Notable sites include the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem and the Wall Family Cem, alongside numerous others like Saint Johns Cem and Richardson Hill Cem.

Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the corridor of E-State-Rte-142 and the presence of Gelfius International Airport near the center of the sheet. Natural water features like Olan Bullock Lake and Auxier Creek provide the primary breaks in the grid of county roads. Smaller hamlets such as Lovilla appear alongside family-named landmarks like Lowry Hill, offering a precise look at the rural character and genealogical footprint of the region.
