1962 Map of Orfordville

About this map

The village of Orfordville serves as the eastern anchor of this Rock County landscape, situated at the intersection of critical rail corridors during the early 1960s. The southern boundary of the map features the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad passing through the edge of Brodhead, while the Chicago and North Western line cuts through the northeast near the small settlement of Cainville. This area is characterized by its agricultural network and early rural community centers, including Magnolia and several established burial grounds like Calvary Cem and West Magnolia Cem.
