2021 Map of Prairietown

About this map

Cahokia Creek and its many branches, including Paddock Creek and Sherry Creek, define the rolling drainage patterns of this Madison County landscape. The area is characterized by a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Paddock Family Cemetery and Wieseman Cemetery, which speak to the deep ancestral roots of the local farming population. The residential development of Holiday Shores provides a clear contrast to the traditional agricultural settlements of Prairietown, Dorsey, and Midway. Further south, the map documents the proximity of Zion Lutheran Church near the small community of Carpenter. The intricate network of local roads, from Seiler Road to Moro Road, reflects a long-established rural grid that has evolved to accommodate both quiet homesteads and expanding lakeside communities.
