2017 Map of Stratford

About this map

Stratford serves as the central hub of this Brown County landscape, situated at the intersection of Co Rd 16 and E McLeod Ave. The surrounding rural territory is defined by the winding course of the James River, which meanders through a network of wetlands and seasonal drainages including Moccasin Cr and Mud Creek. This 2017 survey documents a traditional prairie settlement pattern, where the township structure is punctuated by significant local landmarks such as Scandinavia Lutheran Cem to the north and East Rondell Cem to the east. The terrain is a complex hydrologic system, visible in the numerous oxbows and marshy depressions along the river valley. Further south, Oakwood Cem sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, illustrating the distributed nature of early community centers in this region.
