About this map

Agricultural life in Green County is centered around the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts through the rolling topography to connect the village of Juda with the city of Monroe. This survey, updated with 1971 aerial observations, reveals a landscape defined by small rural hubs such as Twin Grove and East Clarno, where country schoolhouses like Twin Grove Sch and Pleasant Grove Sch served the surrounding farming families.

The presence of numerous local burial grounds, including Calvary Cem and Mt Vernon Cem, provides essential points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlers in Jefferson and Clarno townships. Waterways like Richland Creek and the North Fork of the Sugar River dictate the drainage of the fields, while industrial activities are marked by several quarries and pits scattered throughout the region.
