2023 Map of Big Plain
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The agricultural landscape of Madison County is defined by a dense network of water management features and small rural settlements. Big Plain and Kiousville serve as central nodes in a territory crisscrossed by an extensive system of man-made and natural drainage, including McGuire Gilliland Ditch, Robinson Ditch, and Childers Ditch. These features reflect a long history of converting the native prairie and wetlands into productive farmland. For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with family-named landmarks and small burial grounds such as Timmons Cem, Jackson Cem, and Graham Cem. At the northern edge, Madison Lake provides a distinct geographical contrast to the surrounding fields. The road network, including the diagonal London-Circleville Rd, connects these dispersed communities, while Dennison Chapel remains a notable landmark of the local community's spiritual history near the intersection of Co Hwy 22 and Big Plain Circleville Rd.
