About this map

Agricultural lands at the convergence of Bond, Clinton, and Madison counties define this portion of Southwestern Illinois. The community of Saint Rose serves as a central point, supported by nearby Saint Rose Cem and an organized grid of local roads like Saint Rose Rd. To the northeast, Jamestown sits near the eastern edge of the survey area, while the smaller settlement of Sebastopol is located along the western county line.

The landscape is drained by a network of small waterways, most notably Shoal Creek on the eastern boundary and several branches including Spanker Br, Lake Br, and Bull Br. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds that reflect the area's rural settlement history, such as Gullick Cem, Jamestown Cem, and Branch Cem. These features, alongside landmarks like Klaus Lake, illustrate a stable rural landscape shaped by long-standing township divisions and a persistent focus on farming and small-town commerce.
