2010 Map of Richwood

About this map

Richwood and Grellton anchor this Dodge and Jefferson County landscape, where the confluence of several major waterways dictates the layout of local infrastructure. The Rock River flows through the southeastern corner, while the Crawfish River and Beaver Dam River meander through the western and northern sections. This hydrologic network is punctuated by Hahns Lake and Mud Lake, creating a pocketed geography of wetlands and river bends. The rectangular road grid, featuring routes like County Hwy-Q and County Hwy-T, occasionally breaks to accommodate the winding riverbanks. For genealogists, the Richwood Cemetery stands as a primary landmark for tracing early families in this agricultural region. The map captures a moment when traditional township lines and family-named roads like Welsh Rd and Walton Rd remain the primary identifiers of local heritage.
