2011 Map of Battle Creek SE

About this map

Green Garden Cemetery and Kalamazoo Cemetery serve as the primary historic anchors for this rural landscape in Madison County. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of small watercourses, including the westward-flowing Taylor Creek and the southern reaches of North Fork Union Creek. The settlement pattern follows a strict Section-Line grid, with roads such as 827 Rd and 830 Rd marking the agricultural layout of the central plains. Unlike more developed areas, this map reveals a landscape almost entirely dedicated to cultivation and drainage, where the small family and community cemeteries provide the only permanent structural evidence of the area's early residents and their local church-and-school community hubs. Union Creek traverses the southeastern corner, serving as the principal drainage for the surrounding farmsteads.
