2015 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Greenfield serves as the primary hub of this Greene County landscape, where the street grid is clearly defined by thoroughfares like Prairie St and College St. The surrounding countryside is defined by an unusually high density of family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. These sites, including Oakwood Cem, Rose Hill West Cem, and Mitchell Cem, are scattered across the terrain between the winding courses of Taylor Cr and Rubicon Cr. To the south, the settlement of Rockbridge sits near the confluence of local streams and Macoupin Creek, while the small community of Fayette occupies the eastern portion of the map. Water features like Coles Lake and the interestingly named Shady Eighty Acres Lake punctuate the agricultural lands, reflecting the area's rural character and its reliance on the local creek systems for drainage and geography.
