The modern record here

9 settlements

What the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

Every populated place the Geographic Names Information System records inside this township's Census boundary. None of the 9 is named in the chapter: they were founded later or were never more than a post office.

The chapter

26 words

Reproduced complete and unedited from Centennial History of Madison County, Illinois, and Its People, 1812 to 1912, published 1912. The text is machine-read from scans, so expect recognition errors: misspelled names, dropped words, and stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the books' own; source changes are labelled in place.
