About this map

Monegaw Springs serves as a focal point in this portion of St. Clair County, situated near the winding course of the Osage River. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Salt Creek, Yellow Cr, and Little Monegaw Cr converge toward the river valley. Evidence of long-standing community settlement is found in the numerous family and local burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Benton Green Cem, Yeater Cem, and Motley Cem.

Inland from the river, the small settlement of Chalk Level sits amidst a network of county roads. High points like Kibbie Hill and Clubhouse Hill overlook a terrain characterized by natural springs and smaller water bodies such as Spring Lake and Magnolia Spring. This survey captures the rural character of the region, documenting the distribution of farmsteads and the persistence of historic landmarks within the river hills.
