About this map

Turtle Creek winds through the central Rock County landscape, anchoring the small settlements of Shopiere and Tiffany. This mid-2010s survey captures the area as it maintains a balance between the expanding northeastern edge of Beloit and the surrounding agricultural townships. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, identifying several local burial sites including Turtle Cem near the creek and Clinton Corners Cem to the east.

Transportation corridors define the modern layout, with Interstate highway and rail lines cutting through the former rural tracts of Porters and Foxhollow. The topography shows the gradual descent toward the Beloit urban center, while small landmarks like the Melin Farms Airport and the 205 Reservoir illustrate the specialized land use found on the outskirts of the larger Clinton community. This record is a precise look at the transition from industrial city limits to the long-standing hamlets of southern Wisconsin.
