About this map

Canton anchors this Madison County landscape, where urban grid patterns meet the meandering paths of Bear Creek and Batchelor Creek. This 2015 record captures the area's development along the Interstate 55 corridor, showing the growth of Gluckstadt and the industrial activity near Ballard. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous small community burial grounds and houses of worship. Notable sites include the Old Madison Presbyterian Cem and the Priestley Chapel Missionary Baptist Church Cem.

The southern portion of the sheet reveals the suburban and rural interface near Meltonville and Deerfield, framed by the protected corridor of the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail. From the waters of Patton Lake to the scattered settlements of Charlton and Sloan, the map provides a contemporary view of a region defined by its historic church-centered communities and modern transportation networks.
