2010 Map of South Wayne

About this map

The Pecatonica River meanders across this landscape on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois, defining a region where agricultural life is anchored by family-named roads and rural burial grounds. The village of South Wayne sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farmsteads. The land is drained by a network of waterways including Turtle Creek, Spafford Creek, and the Feather Branch, all of which influence the layout of local infrastructure. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several historic cemeteries, such as the West Wiota Lutheran Cemetery in the north and the Zion Cemetery further south. The map's detailed road network, featuring names like Komprood Rd, Boelk Ln, and Larse Rd, reflects a history of long-standing family landholdings and rural settlement patterns that have persisted into the 21st century.
