About this map

Jeffersonville serves as the central hub for this portion of the Virginia Military District, where the Detroit Toledo and Ironton Railroad corridor meets the emerging footprint of Interchange 69. The map details a transition in rural landscape, capturing the early 1960s agricultural character of the Madison Co Fayette Co border before 1970s updates recorded the arrival of the interstate.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous small burial grounds dotting the landscape, such as Thomas Cem, McKillip-Kirk Cem, and Hidy Cem. Small communities like South Solon and Bookwalter, with its Bookwalter Sch, are connected by an intricate network of local thoroughfares including Carrs Mill Road and Mc Killip Road, reflecting a mid-century rural economy tied to the land and the rail lines.
