About this map

The Rock River winds through the heart of Watertown, defining the geography of this southern Wisconsin landscape. This 2010 survey shows the river's significant infrastructure, including the Lower Watertown Dam and Upper Watertown Dam, which historically powered the region's development. The map details a dense network of local roads and county highways connecting Watertown to outlying rural settlements like Old Lebanon, Pipersville, and Ebenezer.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the large Oak Hill Cemetery and Saint Henry Cemetery near the city center to smaller rural plots like the Whitney Cemetery and Union Cemetery. The map also captures the transition from urban to agricultural land, with Tivoli Island situated within the river and the Watertown Municipal Airport serving as a prominent landmark on the southern edge of the city. Water features such as Silver Creek and Johnson Creek feed into the primary river system, illustrating the hydrology that supported early settlement.
