2022 Map of Cooksville

About this map

Cooksville and the surrounding farmland of Rock and Dane counties are defined by the winding course of the Yahara River and Badfish Creek. This agricultural landscape is dotted with early community hubs, including the settlement of Stebbinsville and the village of Fulton in the southeast corner. Genealogists can find numerous historic burial grounds across the township lines, such as Saint Michaels Cem, Ball Tavern Cem, and South Porter Cem. The topography reveals a complex network of glacial water bodies, from the prominent Gibbs Lake and Little Gibbs Lake to the smaller Muskrat Lake and Grass Lake. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Blackburn Airport located north of the county line, while the overall road grid follows the established section lines typical of Wisconsin's dairy country.
