2010 Map of New Glarus

About this map

New Glarus anchors the eastern edge of this Green County landscape, where the Little Sugar River and its numerous tributaries have carved a series of distinct valleys through the terrain. The village is well-defined by its grid, featuring the New Glarus Post Office and two nearby burial grounds, the Swiss Cemetery and Evangelical Cemetery. Outside the village center, the rural character is defined by a network of drainage systems like Hefty Creek and Sawmill Creek, and named topographical features such as Hustad Valley, Krieg Valley, and Pioneer Valley. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural cemeteries, including the Greens Prairie Cemetery and Postville Cemetery on the western half of the sheet. The naming conventions of the waterways, such as the Legler School Branch and Center Branch Hefty Creek, reflect the agricultural organization and school districts that shaped this area of Wisconsin.
