2015 Map of Jerseyville South

About this map

Jerseyville serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, where a dense grid of streets like W Lott St and E Exchange St gives way to the agricultural expanses of southern Jersey County. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Otter Cr and Phils Cr, which carve through the till plains toward the south. Small rural clusters and junctions such as McClusky, Delhi, and Newbern punctuate the countryside, connected by long stretches of road including the prominent diagonal of 1610 Rd E. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, from the large Oak Grove Cem in the north to the smaller Lamb Memorial Cem and Bethel Cem tucked away near the creek branches. Several small airstrips, including Koenig Airport and Raymond RLA Airport, reflect the region's relationship with private aviation and large-scale farming operations.
