About this map

Dairy country and small farming hamlets define this 1959 survey of the Dodge and Washington County line. The landscape is dotted with rural education centers such as Christ's Manger Sch, Herman Sch, and Trinity Sch, reflecting a time when neighborhood schoolhouses were the backbone of Wisconsin's agricultural communities. Small intersections serve as local hubs, including Hochheim and Nenno, which anchor the surrounding townships of Herman and Addison.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the East Branch Rock River and its tributaries, including Butler Creek and Limestone Creek. Extensive deposits of gravel are evident by the numerous Gravel Pits found throughout the glacial terrain. These geologic features, alongside landmarks like St Johns Cem and Reform Cem, provide essential data points for genealogists and local historians tracing families settled in the towns of Theresa and Wayne.
