About this map

Mineral Point stands at the center of this 2018 survey, characterized by its dense grid of streets that reflect its long-standing importance in the region. The map captures the meeting of several water systems, most notably the Pecatonica River and its various tributaries like the Mineral Point Branch and Brewery Cr. This topography highlights how the landscape shaped local development, from the industrial-tinged street names like Copper St and Shakerag St to the clustered sites of Saint Mary's Cem and Graceland Cem.

South of the main settlement lies Slateford, situated where the hills roll toward the Bonner Br. The map's detail provides a clear view of the rural-urban interface, marking points of local interest such as Jim Benson Field and the evocatively named Merry Christmas Ln. The drainage patterns of Rock Br and Cottage Inn Br define the ridges and valleys that dictate the placement of county roads and individual farmsteads.
