About this map

Elkhorn serves as the focal point of this Walworth County landscape, showing the town's structural evolution from its 1960 survey through 1971 revisions. The map details a dense concentration of civic and social markers, including the County Fairground, St Patricks Sch, and the Armory. A notable network of rural cemeteries, such as Hazel Ridge Cem and Mt Olivet Cem, provides significant data for genealogists tracing family histories in the surrounding townships.

The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Elkhorn and the northern edge of Delavan to the recreational and agricultural lands near Delavan Lake. Transportation history is preserved through the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific rail line and the traces of an Old Railroad Grade cutting through Lafayette township. To the north, smaller settlements like Tibbets and Millard maintain their distinct rural character near bodies of water like Lake Wandawega and Silver Lake.
