About this map

The northern reaches of Jerseyville and the agricultural transition between Jersey and Greene counties define this modern survey of central Illinois. The landscape is carved by the winding course of Macoupin Creek, which flows westward through a network of small tributaries including Bear Cr, Taylor Cr, and Phils Cr. This drainage pattern influenced the historical placement of rural cemeteries and the alignment of roads like N Macoupin Creek Rd and Witt Mill Rd.

Local history is anchored by several distinct settlements, from the residential blocks of northern Jerseyville to the smaller communities of Kane and Old Kane. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Oak Grove Cem and Saint Francis Xaviers Cem to isolated family and community plots such as Burch Cem, Keller Cem, and the Luckey - Weber Cem near the eastern boundary.
