2018 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Lancaster serves as the focal point of this southwestern Wisconsin landscape, where the street grid is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares like E Lincoln Ave and S Madison ST. The surrounding Grant County countryside is a network of ridges and hollows, notably Coon Hollow Rd and Hudson Hollow Rd, drained by numerous tributaries of the Platte River. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the area, including Saint Clements Cem and Hillside Cem near the town center, while smaller rural locations like Hampton Cem and Boice Creek Cem remain preserved in the outlying farmland. To the south, the settlement of Boice Prairie lies near the Lancaster Municipal Airport, illustrating the continued importance of this agricultural and aviation hub. Waterways like Pigeon Cr and Boice Cr wind through the township, marking the drainage patterns of the Driftless Area.
