2016 Map of Milton

About this map

Milton and its neighboring Milton Junction serve as the primary hubs in this southern Wisconsin landscape, situated just north of the expanding Janesville area. The map illustrates a region defined by its glacial hydrology, where the northern border is dominated by the expansive Lake Koshkonong and its various inlets like Lautz Bay, Bingham's Bay, and Haights Bay. Between these waters and the urban centers lie several small, localized basins including Clear Lake, Grass Lake, and the Cranberry Marsh. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain through numerous dedicated sites such as Milton Junction Cem, Saint Mary Cem, and the Otter Creek Cem. Notable landmarks along the lake shore, such as Thiebeau Point and Stony Point, provide context for the shoreline development and natural features that have shaped Rock County's recreation and settlement patterns over the decades.
