About this map

Brookport Cem and the northern outskirts of the Ohio River valley define this rural landscape in Massac County. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of local routes such as Mount Pleasant Rd and Waldo Church Rd, which link numerous small family and community burial grounds. These sites, including Golightly Cem, Azotus Cem, and Masonic Cem, provide a detailed genealogical record of the area's early settlers and rural congregations. The hydrology of the region is shaped by many small waterways and low-lying basins, with Barren Cr and Crenshaw Cr feeding into larger pools like Mann Lake and Hohman Lake. The placement of landmarks like Mill Spring and Buzzard Roost Cem indicates a long-standing pattern of upland habitation overlooking the creek bottoms.
