About this map

Greenfield serves as a central hub on this 1932 survey, situated at the junction of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy and the Chicago and Alton railroads. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between flat agricultural uplands and the deeply etched drainages of Apple Creek and Macoupin Creek. Small agricultural hamlets such as Fayette, Hettick, and Rockbridge are linked by the State Highway No 108 and the now-vanished Chicago Springfield and St Louis line.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the rural townships of Rubicon, Barr, and Western Mound, where numerous family-named landmarks are documented. Local researchers can trace dozens of country schools like Pinoak Sch and Sunny Point Sch, alongside rural churches and cemeteries such as Stultz Cem. Notable early-century landmarks include the Woodbine Country Club and a dedicated Landing Field near Chesterfield.
