About this map

Belmont serves as the primary hub in this Lafayette County landscape, where the street grid of W Wisconsin Ave and Market St meets the rural road network. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Bonner Br and Pats Cr, which drain the agricultural uplands. Smaller settlements like Meekers Grove and Jenkinsville anchor the southern reaches, connected by thoroughfares such as Saint Peters Rd and Red School Rd.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several historical burial sites throughout the townships, such as Strawberry Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Saint Peters Catholic Cem. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Galena River headwaters, including the Madden Br and N Fork Ames Br. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named landmarks like Beardsley Lake and various municipal boundaries intersect with modern infrastructure.
