2024 Map of New Douglas

About this map

The agrarian landscape of northeastern Madison County unfolds around the villages of New Douglas and Alhambra in this contemporary topographical view. A significant industrial footprint is evidenced by the Staunton Coal Company Reservoir, providing a clear link to the region's mining history. The settlement pattern is characterized by several family and parish burial grounds, including Saint Vincent Cem, New Douglas City Cem, and Harris Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing local lineage. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Silver Creek and its many tributaries, such as the East Fork Silver Creek and Sugar Fork. Between the larger settlements, the hamlet of Binney remains a distinct point on the map, while Hammock Field indicates a specialized land use in this largely rural interior. The grid of county roads and named avenues, such as Hillsboro Rd and Mount Olive Rd, connects the disparate farmsteads and reservoirs that dominate the countryside.
