2013 Map of Walnut Run

About this map

The settlement of Newport and the southern edge of London anchor this Madison County landscape, where the agricultural heritage is preserved through numerous family-named farms and cemeteries. This 2013 survey shows an intricate network of drainage systems essential to the region's productive farmland, including William Cathcart Ditch, Filmore Jackson Ditch, and Dunkin Ditch. These waterways feed into larger runs like Walnut Run and Oak Run, which carve gentle paths across the terrain. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, documenting small plots such as Johnston McClimans Cem, Sifrit Cem, and Kilgore Cem. In the northeast corner, Madison Lake provides a distinct geographical contrast to the surrounding farmsteads like Burr Farms and Century Two Farms.
