2012 Map of Mount Olive

About this map

Mount Olive and the smaller settlement of Carlsburg serve as the primary hubs in this region of Macoupin County, reflecting a landscape defined by its mining heritage and agricultural roots. The area is notable for its dense concentration of burial grounds, most significantly the Union Miners Cem and Miners Cem, which speak to the labor history and community identity of the local workforce. These sites, along with Immanuel Lutheran Cem and Cavalry Cem, provide a valuable spatial record for genealogists and local historians.
