2010 Map of Madison East

About this map

The Ohio River serves as the focal point of this 2010 topographic record, separating the community of Madison, Indiana, from Milton in Kentucky. The Madison Bridge provides the primary crossing, linking these river towns where the landscape quickly transitions from the river valley into a series of distinctive ridges and hollows. Notable terrain features like Big Cedar Cliffs and Eagle Hollow dominate the northern bank, while the Kentucky side is defined by a network of drainage systems including Canip Creek and the various branches of Locust Creek. Small settlements and naming conventions such as Locust and Monitor illustrate the rural development of the area. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks and routes, such as Moffett Cemetery, Fairview Ridge, and Wrights Ridge, which reflect the long-standing agricultural and settlement patterns established along the fertile banks of the Ohio.
