2013 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Alexandria serves as the central hub of this Northern Madison County landscape, where the grid-based agricultural layout meets several significant waterways. The map documents the spatial relationship between the city and surrounding communities like Summitville to the northeast and Gimco City near the urban core. The region is defined by an intricate network of natural and engineered drainage systems, including Pipe Cr and Lilly Cr, which carve through the farmland. These watercourses, along with smaller tributaries like Gimco Brook and Light Run, illustrate the essential hydrological management required for this Indiana prairie terrain. Notable local nomenclature is preserved in labels like Pisgah Run and Beulah Run, providing specific geographic markers for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and settlement patterns in the early 21st century.
