About this map

Madison and its surrounding communities in Morgan County are documented in this topographic study, revealing the spatial relationship between the historic town center and outlying settlements like Canaan and Beacon Heights. The landscape is defined by its transition from the town's street grid to a rural expanse punctuated by family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of religious and burial sites, including the Smyrna Baptist Church Cem, Plainview Baptist Church Cem, and Bethlehem Baptist Church Cem.

The water network across the quadrangle is intricate, featuring numerous creek branches and small lakes such as Pennington Lake, Strange Lake, and McGuery Lake. Aviation history is represented by both the Madison Municipal Airport and the smaller Hay Field Airport to the south near Bethany. The map also traces the drainage patterns of N Sugar Cr and S Sugar Cr, illustrating how these watercourses have historically influenced land use and the development of local roads like Jordan Rd and Bethany Rd.
