About this map

Glacial topography and low-lying wetlands define the landscape between Johnson Creek and Helenville in this southeastern Wisconsin quadrangle. The terrain is marked by the Glacial Drumlin State Trail, which cuts across the southern portion of the map, following a relatively flat corridor through the marshy sections of Johnson Creek and Duck Creek. The rural character of Jefferson County is evident in the dense network of local roads such as Switzke Rd and Coffee Rd that serve the outlying farmsteads.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites concentrated near the village of Farmington, including the Farmington Cem, Farmington Concord Cem, and Saint Stephens Cem. The map also captures the local aviation history at J-3 Cub Field, a small airfield situated north of the Interstate. The distribution of these family cemeteries and churches like the Bakertown Baptist Cem suggests a long-standing settlement pattern rooted in the 19th-century agricultural boom of the region.
