Girard and Nilwood anchor the central portion of this Macoupin County landscape, where the flat upland prairies of central Illinois are deeply incised by the drainage systems of East Fork Otter Creek and Hurricane Creek. The rectilinear grid of rural roads, including Old RTE 4 and Thomasville RD, reflects the systematic agricultural development of the region. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the township lines, such as Union Chapel Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Blackhawk Cem.
