2010 Map of Burlington

About this map

The confluence of the Fox River and White River anchors the city of Burlington, where the Burlington Water Works and Echo Lake stand as central landmarks. This 2010 survey details the transition from the concentrated urban street grid to the surrounding agricultural landscape, characterized by numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of cemeteries, including the German Settlement Cemetery to the northwest, the Vienna Cemetery near the center, and the Saint Joseph Cemetery in the southwest corner near Lyons. The geography is defined by glacial kettle lakes and winding waterways like Honey Creek and Sugar Creek, which feed into Honey Lake. Aviation history is represented by both the Burlington Municipal Airport and the Wag-Aero Airport, reflecting the region's infrastructure development into the early 21st century.
