2012 Map of Madden

About this map

Madden and Laurel Hill anchor this rural landscape in Neshoba County, where the settlement pattern follows the high ground between numerous creek drainages. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Standing Pine Cr and the winding path of Luneluah Cr, which influenced the placement of early homesteads and community centers. Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, such as Laurel Hill Cem and Mount Bethany Cem, which often signify the locations of former meeting houses or vanished congregations. The road system, including Hwy 427 and various local routes like Comans Rd, illustrates the transition from traditional farm-to-market paths to a more modern rural grid. Farther north, the small settlement of Waldo and the crossing at Dowdville show how these unincorporated communities persisted through the early 21st century.
