About this map

Fairwater and Brandon anchor this agricultural landscape in Fond du Lac County, where the headwaters of several major regional river systems begin their descent. The Grand River flows through the northwest corner near Fairwater Cemetery, while the West Branch Rock River and South Branch Rock River carve paths through the central and southern sections. This area is characterized by its high density of small rural burial grounds, including Wood Cemetery, Oak Mound Cemetery, and Round Prairie Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the region’s early farmstead lineages.

The small settlement of Alto sits near the geographic center, surrounded by a network of county highways and local routes like Radio RD and Amity RD. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family-named sites such as the Alton Reformed Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, reflecting the immigrant heritage and community structures that shaped this portion of Wisconsin’s dairy country.
