About this map

Madison serves as the primary hub of this Monroe County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions into the fertile drainages of the Elk Fork Salt River. The town's grid is anchored by West Cooper Street and North Franklin Street, while the surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of local routes, including Monroe Road 1130 and Monroe Road 1071. For those researching local family history, several prominent burial grounds are documented, such as Sunset Hill Cemetery on the western edge of town and the more secluded Swindell Cemetery and Dunaway Cemetery further afield.

The hydrological character of the region is shaped by numerous tributaries feeding into the main river system, including Allen Creek, Pedee Branch, and Briar Creek. These waterways dictate the rolling topography, which is partitioned by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t54n r12w. The map illustrates a stable, rural environment where the road system closely follows the section lines of the original land grants.
