About this map

The Maunesha River winds through this agricultural landscape at the border of Dane, Dodge, and Jefferson Counties, anchoring the settlement at Marshall. The village serves as a central hub for the surrounding townships of York, Medina, and Waterloo, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad providing a vital corridor for commerce. To the northwest, the Deansville Marsh and Mud Creek define the low-lying terrain near the small cluster of Deansville.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites marking the early pioneer communities, including South York Cem, York Center Cem, and St Marys Cem. The map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources, noting several Gravel Pit locations and a Quarry. Smaller hamlets like York Center appear as modest rural intersections, preserving the 1960s footprint of southern Wisconsin's dairy and farming country.
