About this map

Milledgeville and the surrounding farm country of Fayette and Clinton Counties appear here as a landscape shaped by early township grids and water management. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Rattlesnake Creek and Sugar Creek, interspersed with an extensive network of drainage features like Missouri Ditch and Camp Run. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements and rural cemeteries, many of which carry the names of the region's founding families.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Jefferson-Jasper Township Cem, Hagler Cem, and the Milledgeville-Plymouth Cem. The map documents the persistent layout of local transportation, from the diagonal path of Old US Route 35 to the smaller rural junctions at Octa, Jasper Mills, and Glendon. The crossing of the Fayette and Clinton County line highlights the administrative boundaries that have governed these agricultural communities for generations.
