About this map

Japton lies at the heart of this Madison County landscape, where the waters of Drakes Creek wind past a series of prominent peaks. The settlement pattern is defined by family-named landmarks and high ground, including Eubanks Mountain, Faulkner Mountain, and Grose Mountain. This 2011 survey reveals a rural network of county roads and Madison County routes connecting small communities like Georgetown and Asher.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, such as Duncan Cemetery in the north and Ledbetter Cemetery near Ledbetter Mountain. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows and branches, including Dunaway Hollow and McConnell Branch. A notable modern landmark, the Lollars Creek Farm Airport, sits near the western edge, illustrating the continued utility of the flat lands adjacent to Lollars Creek.
