About this map

Jackson and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by a mix of residential expansion and enduring agricultural foundations in this 2013 survey. The landscape is anchored by historical settlements like Mayfield, Richfield, and Rockfield, while smaller nodes such as Cedar Creek and Rugby Junction highlight the area's transit-oriented history. Numerous family farmsteads, including Kissinger Farms, Melius Farms, and Heckendorf Farm, remain prominent across the quadrangle, illustrating the persistence of landownership patterns in Washington County.

Glacial geography is evident in the water bodies and drainage systems that segment the terrain. Little Cedar Lake sits in the northwest, while the Oconomowoc River and Cedar Creek provide the primary hydrologic framework. The map documents the convergence of several regional routes, notably Wi-60 and Wi-175, which connect these established agricultural communities to the growing suburban centers. Modern residential developments are seen clustered near Hasmer Lake and Tilly Lake, marking the transition from traditional farming to contemporary residential use.
