2018 Map of Madison SW

About this map

Madison occupies the northeastern corner of this Flint Hills landscape, where the prairie is defined by a dense network of meandering stream valleys. Tributaries such as Holderman Cr and Willow Creek carve through the terrain, creating a complex drainage pattern that has historically influenced the placement of rural roads and homesteads. The map reveals a strictly maintained section-line road grid, including 350th St and 300 Road, which must navigate the undulating elevations between these watercourses. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of Woods Cem in the northern portion of the quadrangle provides a specific point of reference for early family settlements in the area. Further south, the landscape is shaped by the winding paths of Onion Cr and Indian Cr, illustrating the transition from township development to the open grasslands characteristic of Greenwood County.
