About this map

Madison serves as the focal point of this North Florida landscape, anchored by the Madison County Courthouse and the campus of North Florida College. The town's grid transitions quickly into a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including Francis Lake and Mill Pond to the east, and the expansive San Pedro Bay to the south. This environment is characterized by distinct prairies such as Messer Prairie and Hankings Prairie, which interrupt the wooded terrain of the coastal plain.

Genealogists will find several rural landmarks of interest, from the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church in the southwest to a cluster of historic burial sites like Oak Ridge Cemetery, Pineland Cemetery, and Mount Olive Cemetery. The southern reaches of the map near Hopewell show the heavy influence of conservation and state-managed lands, notably the Farm Service Agency Interest of Florida area, while the northern section is defined by a series of named sinks and ponds like Mystic Lake and Loper Pond.
