2010 Map of Avalon

About this map

Johnstown Center and the neighboring community of Johnstown anchor the northern reaches of this Rock County landscape, reflecting the grid-based agricultural development of southern Wisconsin. The map captures a transition between the elevated terrain of the north and the lower wetlands and watercourses of the south, where Turtle Creek and Spring Brook carve through the prairie. Family roots and early settlement history are preserved in several local burial grounds, including North Johnstown Cemetery, Bradford Cemetery, and Fairfield Cemetery. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Johnstown Center Airport, while the village of Avalon sits in the southwestern corner. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its rural road network, with routes like Territorial Rd and Rock County Line Rd marking the structured division of land that has persisted for generations.
