About this map

Clifty Falls State Park dominates the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, showcasing a rugged limestone canyon punctuated by Little Clifty Falls, Tunnel Falls, and Wallace Falls. The geography transitions from the deep gorges of Clifty Creek to the expansive, secured territory of the U S Military Reservation Jefferson Proving Ground to the north. Settlement patterns are concentrated near the river bluff, where the Pennsylvania RR and Madison Road serve the community of North Madison.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and institutions, including the Madison State Hospital and numerous family-named grounds like Bryner Cem and Baxter Cem. Local landmarks such as the Madison Municipal Airport and the distinctively named Hanging Rock illustrate the mid-century development of Jefferson County, while smaller hamlets like Wirt Station and Lancaster maintain their rural character along the upper reaches of Middle Fork.
