About this map

The Pecatonica River meanders across this landscape on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois, defining the rural character of Lafayette and Green Counties. Small settlements like Browntown and South Wayne serve as local hubs, connected by a network of country roads including Co Hwy M and the Cheese Country Recreation Trail. Near the southern edge of the map, the village of Martintown sits just north of the state line, where the river continues its course into Illinois.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family-named landmarks and burial sites, such as Michael Cem, Saucerman Cem, and La Due Cem. The area’s aviation and transit history is noted by the presence of Hughes Airport and the Lattice Bridge over the river. Tributaries like Skinner Creek and Honey Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage system that has influenced farm boundaries and local road placement for generations.
