2019 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Alexandria serves as the primary hub of this Madison County landscape, where the urban grid meets a network of agricultural drainage and small-town settlements. To the north, the village of Summitville occupies the corner of T22N R8E, while Orestes and the industrial-named Gimco City sit further south along the regional road network. The terrain is defined by a dense system of waterways including Pipe Creek, Mud Cr, and Lilly Cr, illustrating the intensive water management necessary for the area's development. Scattered throughout the townships are several ancestral burial grounds, such as Musick Cem and Forrestville Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogists. The map also captures several smaller runs and ditches like Dong Run and Jones Clark Ditch, which reveal the fine-grained hydrography of the Indiana heartland as it appeared in the late 2010s.
