2022 Map of Madison SW

About this map

Madison sits at the northern edge of this Greenwood County landscape, where the prairie begins to ripple with the drainages of the Flint Hills region. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and permanent watercourses, including Holderman Cr and multiple branches of Willow Creek that carve through the limestone-underlaid soil. This 2022 survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, where the section-line road system remains the primary infrastructure for agricultural life. A notable point for genealogical research is Woods Cem, situated in the northern half of the quadrangle. The land is largely organized around creek valleys such as Onion Cr and Indian Cr, which dictate the placement of local routes like Twp Rd 90 and 350th St, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the natural hydrology of the Kansas plains.
