2018 Map of Spring Garden

About this map

Spring Garden is the central hub of this Jefferson County landscape, situated at the junction of Co Hwy 5 and several rural routes. The area is defined by a series of small watercourses, including Atchison Cr and Gun Cr, which meander through a patchwork of agricultural plots and wooded sections. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Richardson Farm Cem, Hams Grove Cem, and Fitzgerrell Cem, which are scattered throughout the countryside, often near historic section lines. These small cemeteries, alongside landmarks like Round Knob Cem and McKinney Cem, provide a detailed genealogical record of the families who settled this part of Southern Illinois. The road network, comprising named lanes like N Goshen Ln and N Star Rd, connects these remote sites across the township lines of t4s r3e and t4s r4e.
