About this map

Alexandria serves as the central hub of this northern Madison County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of agricultural drainage and small-town settlements. The map shows the distinct boundaries of Summitville to the northeast and Orestes to the west, along with the smaller enclave of Gimco City. This area is characterized by an extensive system of waterways and ditches, such as Pipe Creek, Mud Creek, and Lilly Creek, which reflect the region's managed hydrology essential for local farming.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family-named burial grounds across the rural sections, including Musick Cemetery, Vinson Cemetery, Carver Cemetery, and Stoker Cemetery. The road network follows a strict grid typical of the Midwest, with prominent routes like Bethel Pike and Summitville Rd connecting the scattered rural residences and smaller communities to the larger developed centers.
