2018 Map of Jerseyville North

About this map

The agricultural landscape of northern Jersey County and southern Greene County is defined by the winding course of Macoupin Creek and its tributaries, including Phils Cr and Sand Cr. The settlement of Kane stands as a central hub, while the distinction between it and Old Kane offers a glimpse into local development patterns. To the south, the city of Jerseyville transitions into a grid of rural roads and scattered homesteads. Genealogy interests are well-served by numerous burial sites throughout the townships, such as Saint Francis Xaviers Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Keller Cem. The map documents a mature rural infrastructure, where named routes like Victory School Rd and Pleasant Hill School Rd trace the locations of former community landmarks. These features, along with small water bodies like Heild Pond, provide a detailed view of the regional geography as it existed in the late 2010s.
