About this map

Elkhorn serves as the focal point of this regional study, showing the city's modern layout and its position at the intersection of major transit corridors in Walworth County. The landscape is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Hazel Ridge Cemetery, Mount Olivet Cemetery, and the Sugar Creek Lutheran Cemetery, which provide essential touchstones for local genealogical research. Surrounding the urban center, the map documents small outlying settlements like Abells Corners, Tibbets, and Millard, each maintaining their identity amidst the agricultural terrain.

Water features such as Lake Wandawega, Silver Lake, and the northern reaches of Lake Delavan are clearly delineated, illustrating the hydrology of the Sugar Creek watershed. Specialized landmarks like the Apple Barn Orchard And Winery and Paddock Field highlight the area's mix of traditional farming and modern recreation. This survey records the 2010 state of the county seat's expansion and the preservation of its historical rural nodes.
