2010 Map of New Madison

About this map

The New Madison settlement anchors this survey of southwestern Darke County and northern Preble County, showing the intersection of agricultural grid-roads and local drainage patterns. North of town, the Marland Peat Pits represent a localized mineral extraction site near the headwaters of the Lake Branch Ditch. The landscape is primarily defined by its cemetery history, with several family-named or church-affiliated grounds including the First Universalist Cemetery and Greenmound Cemetery. Several small villages and hamlets punctuate the region, including Eldorado and Hamburg to the south, and Castine to the east. The hydrography of the area is shaped by the East Fork Whitewater River and Price Creek, which gather the runoff from numerous named branches like Brinley Fork and Little Creek. This study provides a detailed record of the road network and property boundaries such as Preble Cty Butler Twp Rd during the first decade of the 21st century.
