About this map

The McBride Covered Bridge stands as a central landmark over the North Branch of the North River in this early 1980s portrait of Madison County. The landscape is defined by the rolling drainage basins of Badger Creek, Elm Creek, and Cedar Creek, which converge across the boundaries of Jefferson, Lee, Crawford, and Union townships. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the rural road network and numerous small burial grounds, including Jefferson Cem, North McDonald Cem, and the United Brethren Cem. The northern section of the map is dominated by the Badger Creek State Recreation Area, showing the area's transition toward public conservation and leisure. Genealogists can trace the proximity of these community landmarks to the winding river system and Trinity Ch, offering a spatial record of the county’s agricultural and social foundations.
