About this map

Sugar River meanders through the eastern portion of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural plots and significant local landmarks near the Wisconsin-Illinois border. The settlement of Brodhead occupies the northeast corner, featuring a gridded street plan from 15th St to 25th St, while the small community of Oakley sits further west near the banks of Spring Creek. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, as it contains several distinct burial grounds including Clarence Cemetery, Basswood Cemetery, and Mount Hope Cemetery.

The landscape is intricately drained by numerous waterways such as Sylvester Creek, Juda Branch, and Riley School Branch, which flow through the rolling terrain. Transportation and aviation history are represented by the Brodhead Airport and a network of named rural routes like Halfway Tree Road and County Highway GG. The southern edge of the map tracks the state line, marked by the State Line Cemetery, illustrating the rural connectivity between Green County and Stephenson County.
