About this map

The Rock River system dictates the landscape of eastern Dodge County, flowing through the vast wetlands of the Horicon Marsh Reservoir and south into Sinissippi Lake. This drainage network is dotted with numerous islands, including Clubhouse Island, Seering Island, and Diamond Island, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the region. The agricultural uplands to the west are anchored by the city of Juneau, the county seat, and the smaller settlements of Minnesota Junction and Rolling Prairie.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites such as Stone Cem, Wrucke Cem, and the County Home Cem. The transition from rural farming tracts to more modern infrastructure is evidenced by the Dodge County Airport and the network of county roads like Co RD B and Co RD E. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline around Mieske Bay and the interconnected channels of the West Branch Rock River.
