2018 Map of Gillespie South
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Cahokia Creek and its many tributaries, including Bear Creek and Sugar Camp Creek, carve through this section of Macoupin County, defining the landscape between several closely spaced industrial and residential centers. The map documents a dense network of small municipalities such as Staunton, Gillespie, Benld, and Sawyerville, reflecting the region's historical reliance on coal and rail transport. Evidence of this industrial heritage is found at Mine Number 7 and its associated Mine Number 7 Reservoir near the eastern border. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from the large Gillespie City Cemetery to the denominationally specific Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox Creek Cemetery and the more isolated Funderburk Cemetery in the southwest. Transport infrastructure is represented by the Willhoit Airport and numerous local routes like Wilsonville Road and Adams School Road.
