2016 Map of Eureka

About this map

The Fox River snakes through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring the settlements of Eureka and Omro. This riverine environment is defined by expansive wetlands and secondary waterways like Pumpkinseed Cr. and Hogers Bayou, which feed into the northern reach of Lake Poygan. The distribution of burial grounds across the rural townships, including Forest Grove Cem, Burdick Cem, and Goggins Cem, provides a detailed record of 19th and 20th-century family settlement patterns throughout Winnebago County. Land use remains largely agricultural, interspersed with local features like Happy Jacks Air Strip and Edgewater Ridge. The map's grid system highlights the intersection of modern road networks with early property lines, tracing a path from the riverbanks to the higher elevations of Banner Hill RD.
