About this map

The Yahara River and Token Creek define the hydrological landscape of this northern Dane County region, situated just north of the state capital. By 2010, the area shows a distinct suburban-rural blend, where established centers like De Forest and Windsor expanded alongside modern residential developments such as Foxmoor Hills, Sunburst, and Sherwood Glen. This era of growth is framed by a sophisticated transportation network, with the sprawling Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field occupying the southern reaches and major interstate corridors bisecting the farmland.

Local heritage is preserved in landmarks such as the Moravian Cemetery and Hoepker Cemetery, while the northern portion of the map retains its village character near the De Forest Post Office. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional agrarian crossroads like Hoepkers Corners and Burke meet the encroaching residential footprint of the Madison metropolitan area, centered around water features like Lake Windsor.
