2016 Map of Footville

About this map

Footville and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Rock County are documented here in detail, showing a classic Midwestern township structure. The village of Footville serves as a central hub where N Gilbert St meets the rail line and state highway, while the smaller settlement of Hanover sits further south along Bass Cr. The map reveals a high density of rural roads that follow section lines, such as W Mineral Point Rd and W Townsend Rd, illustrating the orderly land division of the region. Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Grove Cem and various family-named landmarks like Buzzy Field particularly useful for tracing 21st-century property and community boundaries. The drainage of the land is clearly defined by several watercourses including Marsh Cr and Stevens Cr, which navigate the gentle undulations of the terrain north of the Wisconsin-Illinois border area.
