The agrarian landscape of central Illinois is defined here by the winding course of Macoupin Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Spanish Needle Creek. This modern survey reveals a region where historical family footprints remain visible through numerous small burial grounds, such as Emerick Cem and Brayford Cem, which are scattered among the fields. The settlement of Plainview anchors the southwest, while the namesake locality of Macoupin sits further north along the drainage.
