About this map

The agrarian and industrial landscape of Madison County is documented here at the start of the 1960s, showing the northward expansion of Anderson and the established rural patterns of Monroe, Lafayette, and Richland townships. The map records several small settlements and community hubs, including Linwood, Prosperity, and Florida, which are linked by a network of drainage ways such as Killbuck Creek and Pipe Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local institutions, from Cloverdale Ch and Bailey Chapel to rural schools like Leach Sch and Elm Grove Sch. The era's transportation and recreation infrastructure is also prominent, featuring the New York Central rail line, an Old RR Grade, and localized landmarks like the Drive-in Theater near Andy Run. This record captures the transition from traditional farming communities to suburban development near North Anderson.
