2016 Map of Sparta

About this map

Sparta serves as the central hub on this 2016 survey, situated at the confluence of the La Crosse River and several of its tributaries. The landscape is defined by the transitions between the broad Leon Valley and the more varied terrain of Putnam Ridge and Balls Bluff. This map provides a detailed view of the regional cemetery network, documenting sites such as Woodlawn Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and the rural Farmers Valley Cem. To the north, Angelo Pond marks a significant water feature near the settlement of Angelo, while the southern reaches follow the path of the Little La Crosse River through Leon. The presence of these family burial grounds alongside the intricate creek systems like Beaver Cr highlights the deep-rooted agricultural and community history of Monroe County.
