About this map

Truro serves as the primary hub in this Madison County landscape, where the Truro Post Office anchors a grid of rural routes. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, most notably the South River, which is joined by tributaries like Broadhorn Creek, Hanner Creek, and Walnut Creek. These streams carve through a predominantly agricultural region, evidenced by landmarks like South River Field.

For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its density of small burial grounds, including Farson Cemetery, Worthing Cemetery, Young Cemetery, and Hartman Cemetery. These sites are linked by a meticulous road system ranging from named avenues like Wildrose Ave to historical paths like Settlers Trl. The inclusion of Field Cemetery and Fremont Cemetery further suggests the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Ohio Township, providing a clear view of the area's social and natural geography in the early 21st century.
