About this map

Union Grove stands as the central hub of this Racine County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by historic corridors like Plank Rd. The region’s development is anchored by small settlements such as Kansasville, Yorkville, and Paris, each maintaining a distinct identity within the sprawling farmsteads. Significant local history is preserved in sacred sites like the Saint Francis Xavier Church Cemetery and Saint Johns Catholic Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in the area.

Water and recreation shape the western and southern reaches, from the shores of Eagle Lake to the expansive Bong Memorial Recreation Area. Unique landmarks such as the Great Lakes Dragaway and Olsons Airport indicate the diverse use of the land beyond traditional farming. The drainage of the land is meticulously documented through the West Branch Root River Canal and the meandering course of the Des Plaines River, showing the complex hydrologic management necessary for this productive Wisconsin prairie.
