2011 Map of Cottage Grove

About this map

Cottage Grove serves as the central hub of this eastern Dane County landscape in the early twenty-first century, a region defined by its glacial heritage and agricultural roots. The map traces the varied drainage patterns of Door Creek and Koshkonong Creek, while the Glacial Drumlin Trl cuts across the center, following a former rail corridor that once linked these rural communities. Small settlements and named crossroads such as Seminary Springs, Taylors Corners, and Hoffman Corners indicate the historical development of the township. Local landmarks such as Liberty Mound and the Liberty Prairie Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of Door Creek Orchard and various private airstrips like Quale Airport and Blackhawk Field illustrates the contemporary mix of traditional agriculture and specialized land use common in the Madison periphery.
