About this map

Earlham serves as the primary hub in this portion of Madison County, showing the town's eastern street grid including NE 6th St and SE 2nd St. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding N Br N River and its tributaries like Tom Cr and Orman Cr. This drainage pattern influenced the placement of rural infrastructure, visible in the winding path of Hogback Bridge Rd.

A significant cultural landmark, the Hogback Covered Bridge, spans the N River in the southern portion of the sheet. The map also records the location of rural education sites like Washington School and North River School, providing clear evidence of the area's distributed agricultural community. Smaller settlements like Clucas in the north suggest earlier rail or road junctions that shaped the county's development.
