2010 Map of Astico

About this map

The Crawfish River winds through this rural Dodge County landscape, anchoring the small settlements of Danville and Astico. This 2010 topographic survey illustrates a deeply rooted agricultural community defined by its network of rural roads and watercourses. Local history is preserved in several family and congregational burial sites scattered across the terrain, including the Bethel Cemetery, Elba Cemetery, and The Reformed Cemetery. The Danville Dam remains a significant local landmark on the river, situated just south of the Altschwader Landing Strip. Further south, the convergence of Nolan Creek and Mud Creek with the main river channel creates a complex drainage pattern that has long influenced the placement of farmsteads and transport routes like County Hwy TT and County Hwy BB. The rise of Ghost Hill provides a distinct topographic break in an otherwise gently undulating river valley.
