2013 Map of Brodhead West

About this map

The Sugar River meanders through the landscape of southern Green County, defining the eastern edge of this agricultural region near the Illinois border. The settlement of Brodhead anchors the northeast corner, where a grid of streets including 14th St and W 5th Ave transitions into rural residential areas like Cardinal Crest. The map reveals a sophisticated network of waterways feeding into the main river, such as Juda Br, Sylvester Cr, and Riley School Br, reflecting the drainage patterns essential to the local dairy farming economy. Rural life is further evidenced by the unincorporated community of Oakley to the south and the presence of the Brodhead Airport. Major transportation routes like State Road 11 and 81 and County Hwy-G intersect the township, connecting disparate farmsteads and rural homes along roads like Shanghai Rd and Town Center Rd.
