2015 Map of Byron

About this map

The agricultural heartland of Fond du Lac County is revealed in this 2015 study, dominated by the rolling topography of the Kettle Moraine region and a network of small, historic crossroads communities. Settlement patterns are anchored by several distinct villages, including Eden, Marblehead, and Hamilton, while the village of Byron serves as a central waypoint. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying established burial grounds such as Hamilton Oak Grove Cem and Saint Johns Cem that suggest the long-standing presence of local farming families. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, with the headwaters of the W Br Milwaukee River and De Neveu Cr draining the fields. These watercourses, along with Lake De Neveu, provided the essential resources that supported the early growth of this dairy-focused region of Wisconsin.
