2012 Map of Madison

About this map

Dakota State University serves as a prominent institutional anchor in this 2012 depiction of the Lake County seat. The grid-based urban layout of Madison is visible in the southwestern quadrant, where the campus and residential streets like N Josephine Ave meet the open agricultural landscape. To the northeast, Graceland Cem and the Madison Municipal Airport transition the town into the surrounding prairie. The natural hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Battle Cr and Park Cr, which cut through the rectilinear township and range system. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of a historic prairie college town with the essential transport infrastructure of the 21st century, showing how the local road network, including E Center St, integrates with the broader regional section lines.
