The city of Brodhead anchors the northwestern corner of this 2010 landscape, situated at the edge of Green County where the terrain meets the winding course of the Sugar River. This river system, including its many oxbows and the drainage of Taylor Creek and Willow Creek, dominates the lower half of the quadrangle. The settlement of Avon sits further south, marking a secondary focal point in a region characterized by a dense grid of rural roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Bohnhoff Rd and S Nelson Rd. Genealogists may find value in the placement of Greenwood Cemetery on the outskirts of the city and Northrup Cemetery further east. The presence of Brodhead Airport north of the river highlights the modern infrastructure supporting this agricultural and riverside community.
