About this map

The agrarian landscape of Madison County unfolds across this contemporary survey, centered on the unincorporated settlement of Newport. This area is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches and creeks that support the local agricultural economy, including Walnut Run, Bradford Cr, and Roberts Ditch. These waterways carve through the terrain, illustrating the sophisticated water management systems required for farming in the central Ohio till plains.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the numerous family and township burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle. From Saint Patricks Cem near the northern border to the Johnston-McClimans Cem in the southeast, these sites offer a direct link to the region's pioneer families. In the northeast, Madison Lake provides a notable point of recreation and hydrography, while the southern reaches are dominated by larger drainage features like Crawford Ditch and Dunkin Ditch.
