2015 Map of Worden

About this map

Hamel and Worden anchor the southern reach of this Illinois landscape, where the agricultural plains are deeply etched by the drainage of Cahokia Cr and Silver Cr. The presence of the Mount Olive Staunton Coal Company Reservoir near Williamson and Old Coal Mine Rd south of Livingston reflects the regional reliance on coal mining and industrial infrastructure. The map is particularly notable for its dense network of rural burial sites, including the Hoxey Family Cem and the Gehlenback Lutheran Cem, which serve as vital markers of early community identity. From the residential streets of Meadow View Gardens to the natural rise of Possum Hill, the terrain shows a clear transition from developed corridors to the sprawling creek-fed valleys that define the Madison Co and Macoupin Co border.
