2012 Map of Gillespie North

About this map

Lake Carlinville and the Carlinville Waterworks anchor the northern reaches of this Macoupin County landscape, where the agricultural tradition is reflected in the presence of the Hickory Grove Pork Farm and Bolomey Pork Farm. The southern section transition toward the settlement of Henderson and the waters of New Gillespie Lake and Old Gillespie Lake. This 2012 survey captures a mix of industrial and civic footprints, from the Lindell Loveless Airport to the Gillespie-Wyen Oil Field. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Holy Cross Catholic Cem, Corr Cem, and the Prairie Lawn Memorial Garden. The drainage pattern is defined by several waterways, notably Honey Cr, Spanish Needle Cr, and Cahokia Cr, which carve through the grid of rural roads and section lines.
