About this map

West Jefferson serves as the primary hub of this Madison County landscape, where the historic National Pike and Us-40 intersect the local road network. The map reveals a transition from the concentrated residential streets of the village to the expansive agricultural tracts that define the region. Family-named operations like Miller Farms, Salyers Farm, and Morning Star Morgan Farm emphasize the enduring rural economy of central Ohio. To the south, the smaller settlement of Lilly Chapel sits near the crossing of Oh-665 and Oh-142.

Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the winding path of Little Darby Creek and a complex system of drainage infrastructure including the Monroe Bidwell Ditch and Sylvina Wilson Ditch. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, such as Mt Calvary Cem and Blair Cem, which are scattered among the farms and creek beds. The eastern edge captures the border between Madison and Franklin counties near Lake Darby.
