About this map

The Jersey County Courthouse serves as the central landmark for the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, where the southern reaches of Jerseyville transition into the agricultural heart of the county. The map illustrates a network of rural settlements and family-linked sites, including McClusky, Delhi, and the neighboring hamlets of Newbern and East Newbern. This area is characterized by numerous small cemeteries, such as Lurton Cem and Van Horn Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research and local history documentation.

Aviation and hydrology define the outlying terrain. Several airfields, including Jerseyville Aviation Inc and Koenig Airport, are situated among the watersheds of Otter Cr and Phils Cr. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the region, from the northern Sandy Cr down to the Piasa Cr in the south, reflecting the land's natural contours and the rural road system that connects these small communities.
