About this map

New Madison serves as the central hub of this 1960 landscape, where the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads intersect amidst a productive agricultural district. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, including the Thompson Joint County Ditch and Lateral Ditch, which support the farms of Harrison and Butler townships. Small rural hamlets like Hollansburg, Eldorado, and Castine are connected by a grid of family-named roads such as John W Mills Rd and Paul and Mc Kee Road.

Local industry and natural resources are evident in the specialized extraction sites, specifically the Marl and Peat Pits near Mud Creek and various gravel operations. The map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, from the Township Sch and Township Hall to quiet burial grounds like Harter Cem and Wilt Cem. The southern edge captures the crossing into Jefferson and Monroe townships as the land rolls toward the Price Creek drainage.
