About this map

Little Darby Creek and its many tributaries, including Spring Fork and Barron Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern across this Madison County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of agricultural ditches such as Boerger Ditch and Holton Ditch, reflecting the intensive land management required for local farming. Small settlements and crossroads like Plumwood and Rosedale serve as local anchors, with the latter notably housing the Rosedale Bible Coll.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and pioneer burial grounds, including the Bigelow Pioneer Cem, located within the Bigelow Cemetery Prairie, as well as Phellis Cem and Guy Cem. These sites, along with established farmsteads like Ayars Farms and Yoder Farms, provide a clear picture of the long-standing rural community structure that persists into the early 21st century.
