1961 Map of Milton

About this map

The rail junctions of Milton Junction and Milton form a central hub in this Southern Wisconsin landscape, where the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads intersect. To the north, the expansive Lake Koshkonong dominates the horizon, bordered by the Koshkonong Mounds and Charlie Bluff. The 1961 survey, updated with 1971 photorevisions, shows a rural landscape dotted with small neighborhood landmarks like the North Milton Sch, Rock River Sch, and Otter Creek Sch. Significant wetland features such as the Cranberry Marsh and several small kettle lakes including Clear Lake, Grass Lake, and Storrs Lake highlight the area's glacial geography. The map also records the location of local burial grounds like Rock River Cem and Otter Creek Cem, essential for genealogical research in Rock and Jefferson counties.
