About this map

Killbuck Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Killbuck Cr, Florida Brook, and Nelson Brook, define the drainage of this Madison County landscape. In the north, the city of Alexandria sits near the Alexandria Airport, while the southern edge of the map is anchored by the northern expansion of Anderson, including the Forest Hills and North Anderson neighborhoods.

Tracing the corridor between these two urban centers reveals several smaller historical settlements like Linwood, Prosperity, and Florida. This rural-to-urban transition is marked by a network of local cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Wesley Chapel Cem, Donahue Cem, and Funk Cem. A trace of the Old Canal remains visible near Linwood, providing a physical link to the region's early water-based transportation attempts before the dominance of the modern road grid.
