2021 Map of Nortonville

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Nortonville and Murrayville sits at the meeting point of Morgan, Greene, and Macoupin Counties. This 2021 survey reveals a territory defined by its rural history, where family-named cemeteries such as Youngblood Cem and Whitlock Cem are scattered across the section lines. The drainage pattern of Apple Creek and its various branches, including the Left Fork Apple Creek, carves through the central and southern portions of the map, creating a distinct topographical contrast to the flatter northern reaches around Woodson. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks like Zion Number One Cemetery and Saint Bartholomew Cemetery, while industrial and logistical hubs like Clements and the Ware Brothers Pond highlight the ongoing land use in this part of Illinois.
