About this map

The Pecatonica River winds through the heart of this Lafayette County landscape, serving as the geographic anchor for the city of Darlington. The town's grid is well-defined, showing residential streets like Keep St and E North St, and the local history is preserved at the Holy Rosary Cem on the western edge of town. The surrounding countryside is characterized by a network of agricultural roads and multiple waterways, including Otter Creek and the Ames Branch.

A notable modern transformation of the old rail corridors is the Cheese Country Recreation Trail, which follows the river's path through the valley and passes near the settlement of Red Rock. This transit corridor once supported the region's dairy economy, connecting small farmsteads via roads such as Mount Pleasant Rd and Furnace Hill Rd. The map also captures the outlying Fayette Cem in the north, providing a clear view of the area's rural cemetery distribution and early land division patterns.
