About this map

The Rock River corridor anchors this 2016 survey, documenting the developed landscape between Janesville and Beloit. Residential expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Garden Village, Holiday Hills, and Crestview, while the southern end of the sheet is dominated by the campus of Beloit Coll and the city's urban grid. Near the northern boundary, the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport and Blackhawk Technical Coll represent the modern infrastructure and educational hubs of Rock County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several interment sites throughout the area, including Afton Cem, Oakwood Cem, and East Lawn Cem. The confluence of Turtle Creek and the Rock River in the south, along with smaller tributaries like Bass Creek and Spring Brook, illustrates the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement. Notable landmarks like Afton and Belcrest are situated among a dense network of country roads, such as W Plymouth Church Rd and W St Lawrence Rd, marking the division between urban growth and rural land use.
