About this map

Monegaw Creek meanders through the heart of St. Clair County, feeding into the expansive Baldwin Lakes and eventually the Osage River at the southern boundary. The landscape is a network of rural crossroads and drainage basins, where water features like Camp Branch and Clammer Branch dictate the local geography. Settlements are small and dispersed, with Taberville and Iuka Springs serving as primary hubs for the surrounding agricultural community.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history across this terrain, as numerous small burial grounds such as Daller, Ditty, and Short are situated on family-named rises like Ogles Hill and Robins Hill. The presence of Taberville Public Access at the southern bend of the river highlights the enduring importance of the Osage River to the region's recreation and navigation. This 2011 survey documents a landscape of quiet ridges like Golden Ridge and Grass Hill, preserved in a moment before significant modern development altered the traditional rural layout.
