About this map

Marble Creek winds through this Madison County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its narrow hollows and high points like Patterson Mountain. Small rural settlements such as Minimum and Jewett connect via a network of backcountry routes, including Joey Mill Rd and Bill Wilson Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Shoemaker Cemetery and Black Mountain Cemetery, which suggest a long history of local settlement patterns before modern consolidation.

Public land usage is prominent in the western portion of the quadrangle, where Crane Lake and its accompanying Crane Lake Picnic Area offer recreation near the Crane Lake Dam. The high-elevation Crane Lookout Tower overlooks several notable landforms, including White Hollow and Reader Hollow. These features, combined with the presence of Marble Creek Campground, illustrate the area's dual character as both a secluded residential community and a destination for outdoor activity.
