Madison County, Mississippi, USA

Madison County spans part of Mississippi, where the Delta, pine belt, coastal plain and northeastern hills meet in distinct regions, joining established communities with a broader rural landscape. Across Madison County, forests, farmland, river bottoms and small urban centers create a varied setting for farms, town centers and transportation corridors. Successive eras of Native homelands, cotton agriculture, railroads and later highway development helped define the county’s settlement pattern and regional role.
