About this map

Middleton and its surrounding rural expansions are documented here during a period of significant suburban development west of Lake Mendota. The transition from agricultural land to residential neighborhoods is evident as modern subdivisions begin to surround established sites like Appleberry Farm and the historic Saint Johns Cemetery. Major transport corridors, including the path of the Military Ridge State Trl and the activity near Morey Airport, define the movement of people across this Dane County landscape.

Water systems play a central role in the topography, from the headwaters of Black Earth Creek flowing west to the course of Badger Mill Creek and the Sugar River in the south. Several small glacial lakes and basins, such as Graber Pond, Tiedemans Pond, and Strickers Pond, are interspersed among the growing street networks of Middleton Junction and West Middleton. The map also preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Evergreen Hill Cemetery and Sunset Memory Gardens, which serve as vital landmarks for local genealogical research.
