2018 Map of Mazomanie

About this map

Mazomanie and Black Earth occupy the lowlands of the Black Earth Cr valley, where the landscape transitions from the southern uplands toward the broad corridor of the Wisconsin River. This survey captures the rural character of the region, emphasizing the complex drainage system of Halfway Prairie Cr and Dunlap Cr as they feed into the river's northern floodplains. To the northwest, the river's path is marked by distinctive features such as Ferry Bluff and the Twin Islands, which sit across from the agricultural flats of Cassell Prairie. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved in the landscape, including Saint Barnabas Cem, Mazomanie Cem, and the Dover Culver Cem. The map illustrates the 21st-century road network and the enduring topographical boundaries that define Knight Valley and Fair Valley within this corner of Dane County.
