About this map

Kirchhayn and Rockfield anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Wisconsin during the late 1950s, a period characterized by small farming communities and country crossroads. The area is defined by the winding course of Cedar Creek, which flows past landmarks like the Covered Bridge and through the vast Cedarburg Bog. Numerous community schools, including Trinity Sch and Bell Grove Sch, are scattered throughout the townships of Jackson and Germantown, reflecting a densely settled agrarian pattern.

Transport and industry are visible along the C & N W railroad line and at various resource extraction sites like the Quarry near Rockfield. Spiritual and local history centers on sites such as David Star Ch and several cemeteries, including St Marys Cem and St Francis Cem. The map also captures the Cedarburg Bog Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the preservation of wetlands amidst the developing region.
