About this map

McKendree University serves as a prominent anchor for the city of Lebanon, reflecting a long-standing academic presence in this corner of Saint Clair County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of residential growth and critical transportation corridors, including the massive footprint of Scott Air Force Base/MidAmerica Airport to the southwest. This facility, adjacent to O'Fallon and Shiloh, underscores the region's strategic importance in modern aviation and defense.

Local history is preserved in a dense network of family and community burial grounds, such as College Hill Cem, Rock Spring Cem, and Padfield Cem, which dot the terrain between the settlements of Mascoutah and Summerfield. The natural drainage of the area is governed by Silver Cr and its tributaries, including Little Silver Cr and Rock Spring Br, which meander through a mix of developed urban centers and agricultural expanses near Berger Hill.
