About this map

Cottage Grove serves as the central hub of this modern Dane County landscape, where suburban expansion meets long-standing agricultural roots. The map documents a dense network of local heritage sites, including Saint Patrick's Cem and Salem Church Cem, which anchor the smaller communities of Vilas and Nora. The terrain is defined by glacial features, most notably Liberty Mound and the wetlands flanking Koshkonong Cr and Little Door Cr.

Transportation and recreation are prominent themes, with the Glacial Drumlin State Trl cutting a diagonal path across the township on a former rail corridor. Aviation history is represented by Blackhawk Airfield near the northern border and Quale Airport further south. From the edges of Madison and Mcfarland to the rural expanses of Door Creek, the survey captures a region balancing its identity as a residential corridor with its geography of creek-fed marshes and drumlins.
