About this map

Clifty Falls State Park anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the rugged descent toward the Ohio River is marked by dramatic features like Tunnel Falls, Hoffman Falls, and Hanging Rock. Adjacent to these natural landmarks, the urban footprint of Madison and North Madison is evident, featuring the extensive grounds of the Madison State Hospital and local institutions such as Shawe Memorial Sch and St Josephs Cem.

The northern half of the map is dominated by the sprawling U S Military Reservation Jefferson Proving Ground, a massive restricted area defined by names like Mine Field Road and Front Road. Outside the military boundary, rural life continues in small settlements and crossroads such as Middlefork, Wirt, and Smyrna. Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial sites, including Bland Cem and Higbie Cem, scattered among the drainages of Big Clifty Creek and Turkey Creek.
