2012 Map of Stratford

About this map

The James River snakes through the central and western reaches of this landscape, its tight oxbows and wandering course defining the topography near Stratford. The town itself is organized around a traditional grid, where Railway St and numbered streets like 1st St and 5th St mark the center of local commerce and community. In the surrounding rural sections of East Rondell Township, a strictly geometric road network of numbered avenues and streets facilitates movement across the prairie. For those researching family history in Brown County, the map identifies local burial sites such as East Rondell Cem to the east and Oakwood Cem in the southwestern corner. Seasonal watercourses like Moccasin Cr and Mud Cr feed into the main river system, illustrating the hydrology of this agricultural region in the early twenty-first century.
