About this map

London serves as the focal point of this Madison County landscape, situated at the intersection of several key transit corridors including the National Pike and Old US Hwy 42 SE. The town's historic core is anchored by the Madison County Courthouse, with established residential blocks giving way to significant local landmarks such as Oak Hill Cem and the Madison County Airport. To the northwest, the residential development surrounding Lake Choctaw and the community of Choctaw Lake represents a shift toward modern lakeside living compared to the traditional agricultural patterns seen elsewhere.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems such as Deer Cr, Oak Run, and several managed ditches like the Chenoweth Ditch and Childrens Home Ditch. These waterways underscore the area's history of agricultural engineering. Smaller settlements like Lafayette and several family-named burial sites, including the Bradley Cem and Arbuckle Cem, offer valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracing long-standing Madison County lineages.
