About this map

Carlyle Lake dominates the central and eastern portions of this landscape, its waters shaped by the Kaskaskia River and engineered structures like the Saddle Dam 2 Leeve. This 2018 survey captures the region as a primary recreation and conservation hub, where Hazlet Park Rd leads into the lake's protected shores. Small-scale human history is preserved in a network of family and community burial grounds, including McKendree Cem, Gillespie Cem, and Gerdes Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural sections of Clinton Co.

The village of Keyesport sits at the northern edge of the lake, where local streets like Washington St and Railroad St intersect the county line. To the south, the city of Carlyle begins to emerge, showing a transition from the agricultural fields near Marydale to more developed residential corridors along Governors Run. The elevation varies from the flat bottomlands of Flat Br to the local high point at Browns Hill, providing a clear view of how the modern reservoir transformed the local topography.
