2015 Map of Medora

About this map

Medora sits at the junction of agricultural life and county lines, serving as a focal point where Jersey and Macoupin counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Macoupin Creek and its tributary Phils Cr, which carve through the fertile terrain north of Fidelity. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer roots, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds dotting the townships, such as Longwill Cem and Pruitt Cem. The road network, including names like Mt Washington Rd and Schoolhouse Ln, suggests a history of local rural school districts and hilltop settlements. Further north, the village of Kemper remains a quiet outpost near Foster Lake, illustrating the enduring rural character of this Illinois borderland where Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin counties converge.
