2018 Map of Mascoutah

About this map

Mascoutah serves as the primary hub of this Saint Clair County landscape, where the street grid gives way to an extensive network of family-named cemeteries and rural drainage. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Silver Creek and its many tributaries, including Hazel Cr and Heberers Br. These waterways cut through agricultural lands punctuated by remnants of industrial history, most notably the River King Mine Lake and Freedom Farm Lake. In the south, the village of Fayetteville sits near the banks of the Kaskaskia River, overlooking a series of oxbow features like Long Lake and Halfmoon Lake. The concentration of private family burial grounds, such as the John Mueller Cem, Schubkegel Cem, and Dressler Cem, offers a detailed map of the area's genealogical history. Transportation is anchored by the Norfolk Southern line, which passes through Rentchler and the heart of the region's established settlements.
