2024 Map of Scottville

About this map

The village of Scottville serves as the primary hub for this section of Macoupin County, surrounded by a rural landscape defined by deep creek valleys and a dense network of family cemeteries. The terrain is deeply incised by Joes Creek and Hicks Creek, creating a complex topography that contrasts with the geometric road grid. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that trace the region's pioneer lineages, including the Panther Creek Cem and Nifong Cem in the north, and the Solomon G O Cem and A M Solomon Cem further south. The settlement at Barr anchor the southern reaches of the quadrangle, where winding routes like Sawmill Rd and Rabbit Rd follow the natural breaks in the land. This survey provides a contemporary record of long-established agricultural boundaries and the small, scattered landmarks that define rural Illinois life.
