About this map

Mascoutah serves as the primary hub of this Saint Clair County landscape, with its residential grid extending north toward Mascoutah Avenue and the Holy Childhood of Jesus Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by an exceptional density of family burial grounds and small cemeteries, including Fries Cemetery, Schubkegel Cemetery, and Mueller Cemetery, which reflect the generations of farming families that have worked the land between Silver Creek and the Kaskaskia River.

Southward, the settlement of Fayetteville sits near the river banks, while the terrain rises toward Pleasant Ridge and Haubers Hill. The map also documents the area's industrial and natural water features, from the River King Mine Lake to the meandering paths of Jackson Slough and Reinhardt Slough. This detail provides genealogists and local historians with a precise record of rural property landmarks and the spatial relationship between historic church sites and family plots.
