2016 Map of Monroe

About this map

Monroe serves as the primary urban center in this 2016 survey, where a dense grid of streets like 10th St and Aebly Rd meets the open agricultural lands of southern Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Honey Creek and Smock Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain of Green County. Stretching south toward the Wisconsin-Illinois state line, the area transitions into more sparsely settled territory marked by smaller communities such as Clarno and Schneyville. This map is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it identifies several established burial grounds like Franklin Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery, which are scattered among the rural townships. The drainage patterns of Richland Creek and its tributaries further illustrate the natural contours that dictated early settlement and road placement throughout the region.
