2010 Map of Stitzer

About this map

Stitzer and the neighboring hamlets of Annaton and Preston anchor this agricultural landscape in Grant County, where the topography is defined by the drainage basins of the Platte River and its tributaries. The map shows a well-established grid of rural corridors, including the storied Military Rd which runs east-to-west through the northern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and historical institutions, such as Ebenezer Cemetery and the site of Lancaster Junction. The waterway network is particularly dense here, featuring the Fennimore Fork and winding runs like Leggett Creek, Newell Creek, and Crow Branch, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns that have supported generations of Wisconsin farming families.
