All Populated Places in Scott County Illinois

The best online index for all the kinds of places that appear on maps in the United States is an online database maintained by the federal government's United States Geodetic Survey. This organization is usually referred to as USGS and the database is called GNIS. Many genealogists use it frequently to find places and to determine their location, including the proper county. The following index is for all populated places listed in GNIS as being within Grainger County and includes the name, the latitude and longitude, and the name of the standard topographical map from USGS upon which it is shown. The place name in this list has been made into a link that will take you to more information, including various types of maps showing the location. Any places that no longer exist are identifed with (historical). You can look up items in GNIS for yourself at: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/.

If you have corrections or additions for this list, or if you have similar information you would like to make available online but just don't have the place or the expertise, please contact the County Coordinator at: [email protected].
