2018 Map of Byron

About this map

Fond Du Lac stands at the northern edge of this landscape, where the East Branch Fond Du Lac River and De Neveu Cr drain toward the city. The area is defined by a series of small, established settlements like Hamilton, Marblehead, and Byron, connected by a dense network of county roads. To the southeast, the headwaters of the W Br Milwaukee River begin their course, marking a subtle continental divide in the drainage patterns of the region. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cem, Byron Cem, and Oak Grove Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists. The topography is shaped by glacial features, most notably seen in the depressions containing Lake De Neveu and Devils Lake near the eastern margin. These water bodies, along with smaller streams like Parsons Cr and Campground Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology that influenced early settlement and agriculture in both Fond du Lac and Dodge counties.
