2013 Map of Hartford East

About this map

Hartford and Slinger anchor this portrait of Washington County, where the transition from agricultural traditions to suburban development is visible. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, centered on the prominent Pike Lake and Cedar Lake, with the Rubicon River and Ashippun River draining the surrounding terrain. This era shows a distinctive mix of long-established family operations, such as Strupp Dairy Farm and Gehring Farms, alongside newer residential pockets like Highland Acres and Misty Meadows. The mapping of the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl cutting north-south through the center of the sheet highlights the region's focus on preserving its unique geological corridor even as transport networks like State Road 60 modernize. Small rural junctions including Ackerville, Thompson, and Diefenbach Corners persist as vital markers of the area's original settlement patterns.
