About this map

The agricultural landscape of northwestern Macoupin County is anchored by the small communities of Hettick, Hagaman, and Chesterfield. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, most notably Otter Cr and Lick Cr, which define the local topography. The region maintains its rural character, evidenced by the high concentration of family-named landmarks and small burial grounds that dot the countryside.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the many preserved cemeteries, including the Upton Family Cem and Saint Catherine Cem. Historical education sites like the Jacobie School remain marked, serving as touchpoints for the area's social history. The map also highlights local water features such as Bunn Lake and Solomon Cr, which continue to shape the movement and settlement patterns of this Illinois prairie region.
