About this map

Clifty Falls and a series of dramatic cataracts including Little Clifty Falls, Tunnel Falls, Wallace Falls, and Hoffman Falls define the southern portion of this landscape. The terrain transitions from the rugged creek beds of Big Clifty Creek and Little Clifty Creek to the developed residential and aviation hubs near North Madison. Transportation and utility infrastructure are visible through the proximity of the Madison Municipal Airport and the smaller Giltner Airport near Wirt Station.

Rural life in Jefferson County is anchored by small settlements like Middlefork, Smyrna, and Midway that dot the north. Waterways such as Middle Fork Creek and Harberts Creek provide the primary drainage for these agricultural lands. Unique local landmarks, including the notable Hanging Rock, offer specific points of interest for researchers studying the geographic character and settlement patterns of the region.
