2010 Map of Springfield

About this map

The agrarian landscape of eastern Walworth County is defined here by the winding course of Sugar Creek and Ore Creek as they flow toward the White River. The settlement of Springfield sits at a crossroads in the south, while the small communities of Spring Prairie and Bowers anchor the central portion of the map. This 2010 survey illustrates the modernization of the region, where legacy agricultural lands exist alongside the Alpine Valley Resort and localized infrastructure like the Elmer Droster E5299 Dam. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of three distinct burial grounds: White Oak Cemetery in the north, Union Cemetery near Springfield, and North Geneva Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of several private airstrips, including Fletcher Airport and Plows and Props Airport, points to the unique aviation character of this rural Wisconsin corridor.
