About this map

Saint Francis River winds through the heart of this Madison County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by narrow hollows and significant ridges. The settlement pattern follows the river and its tributaries, with Saco in the north and Coldwater situated near the confluence of Cedar Creek and Coon Creek. These communities are connected by a network of county roads that navigate between prominent peaks like Wilkinson Mountain and Strahl Mountain.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including the Linville-Barrett Cemetery and Paullus Cemetery. The map captures the rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing established recreational areas like Cherokee Ridge Camp near Otahki Lake. The naming of features such as Varsh Ford and Shelton Ford points to historical river crossing points that predate modern bridging.
