2012 Map of Worden

About this map

The agrarian and industrial landscape of Madison and Macoupin counties is anchored by the village of Worden and the neighboring towns of Livingston and Hamel. Historically defined by its proximity to coal resources, as evidenced by the Mount Olive Staunton Coal Company Reservoir in the northeast, the area is crisscrossed by a network of rural routes and the modern Interstate corridors. The map reveals a dense distribution of local burial grounds and religious landmarks, including the Hoxsey Family Cem, Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, and Salem Evangelical Cem. Along the western edge, the meandering courses of Cahokia Cr and its W Fork Cahokia Cr contrast with the rectilinear township and range grid. Unique local landmarks like Opel's Fish Hatchery and Meadow View Gardens reflect the specialized agricultural and commercial heritage of this Illinois region.
