2010 Map of Sextonville

About this map

Ithaca and Neptune anchor this 2010 portrait of Richland County’s dairy heartland, where the Pine River and Willow Creek carve deep valleys through the driftless landscape. The map reveals an intensive agricultural pattern, marked by numerous family-named operations such as the West Willow Stock and Dairy Farm and Sun Valley Holstein Farm. These agricultural legacies are deeply rooted, as evidenced by several community burial grounds including Sextonville Cemetery and Ash Creek Cemetery. Unique geological and topographic features like Elephant Trunk Rock, Twin Bluffs, and Hulster Ridge define the local horizon. The presence of the Richland Airport and the Calhoun G7989 Dam near the center of the sheet highlights how modern infrastructure and water management have integrated with the traditional valley farming communities of Aubrey and its surrounding hollows.
