2016 Map of Orfordville

About this map

Orfordville and the eastern edge of Brodhead anchor this rural landscape along the Green Co and Rock Co border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor drainage systems including Allen Creek, Bass Creek, and Swan Creek, which snake through the agricultural grid. These waterways dictated early settlement patterns, leaving behind quiet hamlets like Magnolia and the crossroads at Cainville. Local family history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, such as Scotch Hill Cemetery and West Magnolia Cemetery, which sit among the undulating fields and secondary roads. The map reveals a highly structured township-and-range system, where roads like W Footville Brodhead Road and County Highway B connect disparate farmsteads and the smaller interior communities to the more established centers of commerce.
