2010 Map of Clifty Falls

About this map

Madison and its northern suburbs are defined by a dramatic transition from the Ohio River valley up toward the rural interior of Jefferson County. The southern edge of the map features a dense concentration of historical markers, including numerous burial grounds such as Saint Josephs Cemetery and Saint Patricks Cemetery, alongside the prominent Hanging Rock landmark. To the north, the landscape opens into a network of creek branches and small settlements like Middlefork and Smyrna. The area's transit and industrial history is reflected in several stop-points along the rail lines, including Wirt Station and Galloways Station. Natural hydrology is a central feature here, as Big Clifty Creek carves through the terrain to create several named cataracts, including Clifty Falls, Tunnel Falls, and Hoffman Falls.
