About this map

Pickett and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Winnebago County are defined by a grid of rural roads and scattered small communities. This 2010 survey shows the persistence of early settlements such as Elo, Fisk, Ring, and Zion, which serve as the historic anchors for the local farming economy. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies several local burial grounds including Liberty Prairie Cemetery, Minckler Cemetery, and Peace Cemetery.

The hydrology of the area is shaped by the meandering courses of Eightmile Creek, Spring Brook, and Sawyer Creek, which cut across the geometric property lines. While the landscape is predominantly rural, infrastructure like Williams Airport and Pfaffenroth Private Airport indicates the modernization of local transportation. This record provides a clear view of the township's transition into the 21st century while maintaining its traditional crossroads character.
