About this map

The Rock River winds through the heart of this Wisconsin landscape, defining the character of the settlement at Watertown and its surrounding rural townships. This 2013 survey records the intricate network of island and water features near the city center, most notably Tivoli Island and the neighboring Heiden Pond and Lake Victoria. The geographic layout reflects a transition from the dense street grids of the urban core to the expansive dairy and farmland of the Dodge and Jefferson County borderlands.

Outlying settlements such as Old Lebanon to the northeast and Ebenezer and Pipersville to the south serve as historical anchors in a region shaped by agricultural commerce. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Watertown Municipal Airport and the corridor of State Road 26, which bisects the landscape. Researchers will find interest in the fine-grained naming of local water bodies like Silver Cr and Johnson Cr, which continue to dictate the placement of roads and rural boundaries.
