About this map

Greenfield serves as the primary hub in this southwestern Illinois landscape, where the town's street grid, including Walnut St and Cherry St, meets the surrounding agricultural townships of Rubicon and Rockbridge. The area is defined by a series of small, family-named burial grounds and rural parishes, such as Oakwood Ch and the Witt Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogists tracking local families.

Evidence of historical transit and aviation is marked by the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain and the Sunset Landing Strip near the Macoupin County line. The southern boundary is dominated by the meandering course of Macoupin Creek, which flows past the small settlement of Rockbridge. This 1980s field check captures the region during a period of steady rural character, preserved through the inclusion of landmarks like Lions Park and the local High Sch.
