Jacksonville serves as the regional hub of Morgan County, centered on the Morgan County Courthouse and the historic campus of Illinois College. This 2024 survey captures a landscape where established urban grids meet the sprawling water systems of Mauvaise Terre Lake and Lake Jacksonville. The drainage patterns of Mauvaise Terre Creek and Big Sandy Creek define the surrounding agricultural terrain, which is dotted with small outlying settlements like Arnold and Pisgah. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, identifying numerous family and community grounds including Scott Cem, Asbury Cem, and Daniel Holmes Cem. The transition from the dense street plan of South Jacksonville to the more open reaches of Woodson illustrates the modern connectivity of this Illinois prairie region.
