About this map

Mineral Point dominates the northern half of this landscape, its street grid following the local topography with notable routes like Shakrag St and Merry Christmas Ln hinting at the area's cultural heritage. The city is flanked by several significant burial grounds, including Graceland Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and Saint Paul Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in Iowa County.

South of the city, the terrain transitions into a drainage system defined by the Mineral Point Branch and Brewery Creek, which flow toward the Pecatonica River. Near the intersection of these waterways lies the small settlement of Slateford. The map also documents the crossing into Lafayette County to the south and the presence of Jim Benson Field to the east, illustrating the contemporary layout of this historic mining region before modern developments significantly altered the rural character.
