About this map

The Fox River meanders through this portion of Winnebago County, defining the development of riverfront communities like Eureka and Omro. This survey illustrates a landscape shaped by water, where Hogers Bayou and Waukau Cr feed into the primary river system, and the southern shore of Lake Poygan reaches into the upper edge of the map. The terrain is notably characterized by Edgewater Ridge, rising above the surrounding wetlands and creek beds.

Local family and community history is anchored by a significant number of rural burial grounds, including Saint Thomas Cem, Forest Grove Cem, Burdick Cem, and North Rushford Cem. These sites, along with established road networks such as Co Hwy TT and Rushford Ave, reflect the transition from early agricultural settlements to modern rural residential areas. The proximity of Island Park and various bayous indicates the enduring importance of the river for both navigation and local geography.
