About this map

Horicon Marsh dominates the northern reaches of this Dodge County landscape, where the West Branch Rock River feeds into a network of wetlands and islands including Clubhouse Island and Popple Island. The area is defined by its small agricultural and administrative hubs, with the city of Juneau serving as the county seat, complete with the Dodge County Justice Facility and the Dodge County Airport. To the east, Horicon sits at the head of the Rock River, which winds southward toward Sinissippi Lake at Steffen Point.

Transport history is visible in the corridor of the Wild Goose State Trl, which follows a former rail line through Minnesota Junction and Oak Grove. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township lines, from the Oak Hill Cem in the city to the more rural Stone Cem and Hyland Prairie Cem. The map captures the quiet transition where the marshland's natural hydrology meets the organized grid of farm roads and small settlements like Kekoskee.
