About this map

The city of Watertown straddles the border of Dodge and Jefferson counties, centered on a major bend of the Rock River. This detailed survey highlights the urban core and its surrounding agricultural landscape, characterized by numerous rural burial grounds and historic churches. Notable sites within the city include Tivoli Island, Lake Victoria, and Heiden Pond, reflecting the community's relationship with its waterways. To the south, the Watertown Municipal Airport sits near the Watertown Byp, marking modern infrastructure developments.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of cemeteries, such as Oak Hill Cem, Saint Bernards Cem, and Ebenezer Moravian Cem. Smaller outlying settlements like Ebenezer, Pipersville, and Old Lebanon are documented along with the Canw railroad corridor. The map captures a transition between the established city grid and the surrounding farmland, including features like Johnson Cr and Silver Cr which drain the drumlin-dotted terrain typical of this part of Wisconsin.
