2010 Map of Cross Plains

About this map

Mount Horeb anchors the southwest corner of this Dane County landscape, where the town’s street grid meets the winding headwaters of Moen Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its hydrology and scientific infrastructure, notably the Pine Bluff Observatory situated on a high point above Pine Bluff. The drainage patterns of the Sugar River and Black Earth Creek dictate the local geography, punctuated by small rural settlements like Klevenville and Cross Plains. Genealogists and local historians can locate several key burial sites, including Saint Ignatius Cemetery and the North Side Cemetery. The presence of the Military Ridge State Trl follows an established corridor through the undulating terrain, while features like Stewart Lake 2 and the Brunner Dam highlight the managed water resources of the early 21st century.
