2015 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson and the surrounding townships in Washington County are characterized by a dense network of early settlements and small family cemeteries. This mid-2010s survey illustrates a landscape where modern infrastructure meets historical rural foundations, visible at Rugby Junction and the small cluster of Dheinsville. The terrain is punctuated by significant water features including Little Cedar Lake in the northwest and Hasmer Lake near the center of the sheet. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous small burial grounds, such as Maxon Cem, Last Home Cem, and Erler Cem, which are often the only remaining markers of the area's pioneer farmsteads. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the headwaters of the Oconomowoc River as it begins its course through Richfield.
