About this map

The Bark River and the Scuppernong River converge in this corner of Jefferson County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial waters and early Wisconsin settlement. The village of Hebron serves as a central point, surrounded by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds such as Hebron Cem, Munroe Cem, and McLery Cem. These features, along with Princess Point Bridge over the Bark River, highlight the long-standing transport and community networks of the area.

Water is a dominant theme throughout the region, with Rome Pond to the northeast and Green Isle Lake near the center providing significant natural focus. Smaller settlements like Slabtown near Slabtown Pond indicate the historical importance of local milling or water-based industry. The map captures a detailed grid of rural roads, including Co Rd D and Co Rd Y, that connect these isolated homesteads and cemeteries, offering a clear view of the area's transition into the 21st century.
