About this map

The Macoupin and Montgomery county line bisects this landscape, dominated by the established community of Mount Olive and the nearby residential settlement of Carlsburg. A significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Union Miners Cem and Cavalry Cem, reflects the deep social and labor history of this coal-mining region. The presence of multiple denominational sites like Immanuel Lutheran Cem, Saint John's Lutheran Cem, and Trinity Cem indicates a historically diverse and pious population settled among the prairie headwaters.

Water management and recreation are evident at the northern edge where Lake Ka-Ho is surrounded by a network of local roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Silver Cr and Lake Fork, while the inclusion of Old Route 66 highlights the evolution of transit through central Illinois. From the quiet waters of Heeren Pond to the residential grids of the towns, this survey provides a precise look at the rural and municipal layout of the area.
