About this map

Hixtown Swamp dominates this landscape, its intricate network of wetlands and islands defining the local geography. To the west, the settlement of Greenville marks the edge of this vast watery expanse, while rural life is anchored by institutions such as Concord Ch and Evergreen Cem. The map reveals a community deeply tied to the natural water systems, with Sundown Creek and the shores of Indian Lake providing essential landmarks for the area's early residents.

Transport and education are woven into the terrain, from the prominent Base Line road to local centers like Indian Lake Sch and Cross Road Sch. This survey reflects a time when small-scale agriculture and community hubs were tightly integrated with the wetlands. Notable features include the southern waters of Sampala Lake and the quiet presence of Oakland Cem, offering a detailed view of Madison County's mid-century rural development.
