About this map

Clifty Falls State Park dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, showcasing the dramatic elevation drops of Clifty Creek through a series of cascades including Little Clifty Falls, Tunnel Falls, and Hoffman Falls. The northern half of the region is defined by the massive Jefferson Proving Ground, a sprawling military installation marked by restricted gates like Gate 19 and Gate 21, and an internal Airfield.

Transitioning from the rural agrarian character of Middlefork and Smyrna, the map centers on the urban concentration of Madison and North Madison. This area features significant institutional landmarks such as the Madison State Hospital and Shawe Memorial Sch. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family and church burial grounds, including St Patricks Cem, Bruner Cem, and Muncie Cem, which sit alongside the historical corridor of the Pennsylvania Road.
