2019 Map of Madison

About this map

Lake Erie defines the northern extent of this Lake County landscape, where the shoreline is punctuated by lakeside communities like Madison-on-the-Lake, Redbird, and Driftwood. Moving inland, the terrain is structured by prominent geological rises known as North Ridge and South Ridge, which dictate the local road network and settlement patterns. The area is dense with genealogical markers, including numerous burial grounds such as North Ridge Cem and the Old Unionville Cem near the eastern boundary. The transition from lakefront recreation to the agricultural and residential interior is evident through landmarks like Woodworth Airport and the village of Madison. Small waterways like Arcola Cr wind through the township, connecting the ridges to the lake and passing through historical crossroads like Genung Corners.
