1962 Map of Browntown
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The winding course of the Pecatonica River and its East Branch dominate this borderland landscape between Wisconsin and Illinois. In the early 1960s, the village of Browntown served as a key point along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which follows the river valley through Dill and South Wayne. This area is characterized by a dense network of small rural institutions and family-named landmarks that reflect a deeply rooted agricultural community. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds, including La Due Cem, Michael Cem, and Saucerman Cem, alongside local education centers like Cadiz Center Sch and Rush Sch. Downstream near the state line, the settlement of Martintown sits near a Gaging Station and the Martin Cem, while the historic Lattice Bridge spans the water further north.
