2016 Map of Shullsburg

About this map

Shullsburg anchors the landscape of southern Lafayette County, where the Upper Mississippi River Valley topography transitions into the rolling hills of the Driftless Area. This 2016 survey highlights a region defined by its rural heritage and early settlement patterns, centered around the historic street grid of the city, including Main St and N Judgement St. The map captures the area's spiritual and genealogical history through sites like Saint Matthews Cem and Monticello Cem, while the southern border traces the state line between Wisconsin and Illinois. Hydrological features such as the Apple River and its W Fork Apple River wind through the township, providing a drainage system that has historically shaped local agriculture. Further east, the small settlement of Dunbarton remains a focal point near Wolf Cr, while White Hill and Charles Mound mark the high points of the local terrain.
