2021 Map of Medora

About this map

Macoupin Creek carves a winding path through this corner of the Illinois prairie, defining the borderlands where Jersey, Greene, and Macoupin Counties meet. The landscape is dotted with several small rural communities, including Medora, Kemper, Summerville, and Fidelity, each serving as a local anchor for the surrounding agricultural tracts. This 2021 update reveals a high density of ancestral burial grounds, offering significant value for genealogists tracing families in the region. Names like the Pruitt Cem, Rhoads Cem, and Longwill Cem are preserved here, alongside others such as Maple Lawn Cem and Elliott Cem. The map provides a clear look at the modern road network, from the intersection of Ruyle Rd to the more remote paths of W Range Line Rd, illustrating how early settlement patterns along the creeks have evolved into the contemporary township structure.
