2018 Map of Summerville

About this map

Macoupin Creek meanders through this portion of Macoupin County, defining the drainage patterns for a landscape dotted with small agricultural settlements and rural infrastructure. The map documents the northern edge of Shipman and the community of Chesterfield, connected by a network of local roads such as Challacombe Rd and Macoupin Station Rd. For those researching local family history, the survey identifies several small burial grounds, including Gelder Cem and Armour Cem, which are situated among the farm fields and timbered creek bottoms. The presence of Nixon Airport near Summerville and named water bodies like Bullard Lake and Howens Lake provides a clear view of the area's modern land use, where longstanding rural townships like t9n r9w meet localized aviation and water management features.
