2013 Map of Janesville West

About this map

The Rock River winds through this region of southern Wisconsin, serving as the primary geographic corridor for the western reaches of Janesville. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Marsh Creek, Fisher Creek, and Markham Creek, which flow toward the river through a mix of established residential neighborhoods and open valley land. A significant modern landmark is the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which meanders across the terrain, following the glacial topography that shaped this part of Rock County. Urban development is concentrated along major transit arteries like Milton Ave and Kennedy Rd, while local recreational spots such as Kiwanis Pond and the corridor of Spring Brook provide community focal points. The map illustrates the transition from the dense street grids of the city center to the more linear residential patterns emerging along the riverbanks.
