2013 Map of Markesan

About this map

Markesan serves as the primary hub in this agricultural region of Green Lake County, situated along the winding banks of the Grand River. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by significant glacial water bodies, including Little Green Lake in the northwest and Lake Maria and Lake Emily in the south. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of the Utley Quarry near the settlement of Utley, indicating the local importance of aggregate extraction. The map detail highlights an extensive network of secondary roads and county highways, such as County Hwy-A and State Road 44, that connect the various farmsteads and rural residences. To the southeast, the S Br Rock River and Drew Cr cross through flatlands, tracing the transition from the Grand River watershed to the Rock River basin. This survey provides a modern snapshot of the region's enduring rural structure, from the residential streets like N Margaret St to the isolated homesteads along Mackford Hill Rd.
