About this map

Brookport and the surrounding farmland of southern Illinois are documented here during the late 20th century, revealing a landscape defined by small-town life and rural institutions. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Shawnee National Forest, where steep, wooded drainages like Burke Creek and Barren Creek cut through the hills. This upland area is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Sycamore Plain Cem, Golightly Cem, and Roe Cem, many of which sit near historic congregations like Azotus Ch.
