About this map

Madison Lake anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the waters of Oak Run and Chrisman Ditch converge. This Madison County territory south of London is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, including Filmore Jackson Ditch, Black Ditch, and Phifer Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the region. The settlement of Newport serves as a central point along the Washington-London Rd 38.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of family-named burial grounds. From the Old Johnston Cem and Johnston-McClimans Cem in the east to the Sifrit Cem and Kilgore Cem near Bradford Cr, these sites document the legacy of early farming families. The map traces historical transit corridors like the Columbus Cincinnati Rd 42, connecting the township to broader Ohio trade routes.
