For example, Madison, Wisconsin; Madison, Alabama; Madison, Tennessee; etc.\n\nIf you're referring to **Madison, Wisconsin**, here\u2019s what I found about cities directly south within ~10 miles:\n\n- Oregon, Wisconsin is almost directly south of Madison and is about 10.2 miles away. ([thecitiesnow.com](https://www.thecitiesnow.com/united_states/wisconsin/madison?utm_source=openai))  \n- Fitchburg, Wisconsin is slightly southwest of Madison, about 6\u20137 miles away. ([dairylandmovers.com](https://dairylandmovers.com/blog/cities-near-madison-wisconsin/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nAlso, Madison, Wisconsin is quite far from the US border (Canada or Mexico), so there aren\u2019t any cities immediately \u201csouth until the US border\u201d in that direction\u2014if by \u201cthe border\u201d you meant international.  \n\nIf you meant a different Madison (e.g. Madison, Alabama or another state), I can pull up similar info for that one."

How far is Madison from the Wisconsin\u2013Illinois border?\nMadison sits in south-central Wisconsin. The Wisconsin\u2013Illinois border is substantially farther than 10 miles directly south\u2014roughly 50\u201360 miles south of Madison. So if you're looking for cities *directly on the route south* to the state line, everything will be north of the border and fairly close to Madison. ([britannica.com](https://www.britannica.com/summary/Wisconsin?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 2. Cities directly south of Madison within ~10 miles\nThese are incorporated cities or villages due south (or nearly so) of Madison, all within ~10 miles:\n\n- **Fitchburg, Wisconsin** \u2014 about 6.1 miles south of Madison. Fitchburg is a city in Dane County just beyond Madison\u2019s southern edge. ([dairylandmovers.com](https://dairylandmovers.com/blog/cities-near-madison-wisconsin/?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Village of Oregon, Wisconsin** \u2014 this town is located directly south of Madison and is also within the ~10 mile range. It's considered a suburb of Madison. ([thecitiesnow.com](https://www.thecitiesnow.com/united_states/wisconsin/madison?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want a longer list of communities south of Madison (within something like 20\u201330 miles), I can pull those too."

Here are some of the cities you\u2019d hit (or come very close to), roughly in order, that lie along or near that meridian:\n\n---\n\n### Major Cities You\u2019d Pass Through (or Very Near)\n\n1. **Illinois**\n   - *Janesville* \u2014 southern Wisconsin. ([plan-a-vacation.com](https://www.plan-a-vacation.com/united-states/interstates/i-39/?utm_source=openai))\n   - *Rockford* \u2014 in northern Illinois close to the line. ([roadnow.com](https://roadnow.com/i90/cities.php?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Missouri**\n   - *Springfield* \u2014 lies approximately under the line when heading south from Rockford. ([geodatos.net](https://www.geodatos.net/en/distances/cities/united-states/wisconsin/madison?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Arkansas / East Texas Region**  \n   As you continue southward, you\u2019ll pass through or near smaller towns and cities in Arkansas and into East Texas, such as:\n   - *Texarkana* \u2014 on the Arkansas\u2013Texas border.  \n   - *Longview*, *Marshall*, *Tyler* \u2014 in East Texas.  \n\n4. **Louisiana / Gulf Coast**\n   - Proceeding further south, the line would cross **Louisiana**, likely through areas east of Shreveport and toward Baton Rouge.\n   - Then through **Mississippi** and **Alabama** near the Gulf Coast (though the straight line might be just to the west of many of Alabama\u2019s major cities).  \n\n5. **Southern Texas**\n   - As you approach the U.S.\u2013Mexico border, you\u2019d probably hit the Rio Grande Valley region of **South Texas**, possibly near towns like *McAllen* or *Brownsville*.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can map the precise route (with exact city names and how close each one is to the meridian) or show a list of *every* city along that line."
