About this map

Beaver Dam serves as the focal point of this Dodge County landscape, situated where the Beaver Dam River exits the expansive Beaver Dam Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of religious and memorial sites within the city, including Saint Marys Cem, Saint Michaels Cem, and Saint Patricks Cem. This density of early denominational cemeteries provides significant mapping of the community's ancestral layout.

South of the city, the terrain transitions into the Shaw Marsh and Stony Brook drainage area, where the smaller settlement of Leipsig is located. The rural surroundings are characterized by scattered family and prairie cemeteries, such as the Hyland Prairie Cem and Clason Prairie Cem, which anchor the agricultural landscape. The lake itself is dotted with numerous named features like Big Skunk Island and Majestic Island, marking the recreational and geographic character of the shoreline north of Waterworks Bay.
