2021 Map of New Athens East

About this map

The Kaskaskia River snakes through the heart of this landscape, its wide floodplain and oxbows defining the geography between New Athens and Lenzburg. This modern survey highlights a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Lively Huggins Cem and Cobb Thompson Cem, which reflect the deep genealogical roots of the rural Illinois countryside. Local aviation and agricultural transport are visible through the inclusion of Lindauer Airport and Schaller Airport. To the south, the transition from Marissa to Old Marissa illustrates the shifting centers of local commerce and settlement over time. The topography is further punctuated by natural landmarks like Point Lookout and the distinct rise of Dutch Hill, providing a comprehensive view of the Saint Clair County interior and its network of country roads.
