About this map

Delavan Lake and the village of Darien anchor this Walworth County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the recreational and industrial corridors of southern Wisconsin. The map details a transition from the rolling terrain near Turtle Creek in the north to the more level fields surrounding the community of Sharon at the southern edge. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and local hubs, including the Chicago Madison Rd corridor which has historically shaped local commerce.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites across the township, such as North Sharon Cem, Oakwood Cem, and Brick Church Cem. Small-scale aviation markers like Barten Airport and Big Foot Airfield appear alongside the natural drainage of Piscasaw Cr, illustrating how 21st-century infrastructure overlays the traditional 19th-century township and range system.
