2012 Map of Java

About this map

The waters of Hiddenwood Cr flow across this Walworth County landscape, feeding into Hiddenwood Lake in the western reaches of the quadrangle. This prairie terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines, including 122nd St at the northern boundary and 314th Ave to the east. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that trace the early settlement patterns of the region, including the Bender Cem in the north and Salzsiedler Cem further south. Near the southeastern corner, the developed grid of Java begins to emerge along Railway Ave and St Paul St, marking the community's intersection with the regional transport network. Further rural landmarks such as Peace Cem, Schnaible Cem, and the Congregational Cem emphasize the importance of these sites in the local historical record.
