2012 Map of Macedonia

About this map

Macedonia serves as the central hub of this Southern Illinois landscape, situated amidst a grid of rural roads and numerous family and community burial grounds. The area is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Big Muddy River, which draws in several tributaries including Carlton Br, Sullivan Br, and Campbell Br. For genealogists and local historians, the concentration of cemeteries such as Jacksonville Cem, Mount Nebo Cem, and Gilgal Cem suggests a long-standing pattern of settlement across the Hamilton County countryside. To the east, the small settlement of Flint marks a quiet crossing, while southern drainage is handled by Akin Cr and Greasy Cr. The road network, featuring names like Kings Hwy and Sheef Farm Rd, reflects a classic Midwestern agricultural layout maintained well into the modern era.
