About this map

Dodgeville serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey, situated at a vital junction where the Chicago and North Western rail line meets local thoroughfares. The surrounding landscape is defined by the townships of Eden, Linden, and Mineral Point, characterized by a dense network of rural schoolhouses such as Oaklawn Sch and Barreltown Sch. These landmarks, alongside the County Home and St Joseph Hospital, reflect a well-established social infrastructure serving the agricultural community.

Waterways like the Mineral Point Branch and Pedler Creek carve through the terrain, while scattered Quarry sites hint at the area's geological resource extraction. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local heritage, pinpointing small burial grounds like Laxey Cem and Bloomfield Cem, as well as several country churches that anchored the early 20th-century neighborhoods of Iowa County.
