2012 Map of Scottville

About this map

Scottville sits at the intersection of several key rural routes in Macoupin County, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous small waterways, including Panther Cr and Solomon Cr, which carve shallow valleys through the farmland. Evidence of early settlement and family lineages is abundant, with over a dozen burial grounds such as Panther Creek Cem and Hettick Point Cem dotting the township roads. To the south, the settlement of Barr anchors the area near Steidley Br. This 2012 survey illustrates a transition in rural infrastructure, where private facilities like James W Andrew Airport and recreation spots like Bunn Lake coexist with a traditional network of section-line roads like Modesto Scottville Rd and Hettick Scottville Rd.
