About this map

Wiota and Lamont anchor this Lafayette County landscape, where the agricultural character of southern Wisconsin is clearly defined by a network of rural roads and drainage branches. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when family-named landmarks like Andrews Cemetery, Miller Cemetery, and Trinity Cemetery remain as vital historical touchstones for local genealogy. The dairy industry, a cornerstone of the region, is represented by Cotton Wood Dairy near the junction of several county highways.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Apple Branch and Whiteside Creek carving through the terrain. To the north, the G6316 Dam creates Hidden Valley Lake, a notable interruption to the natural flow of the local creek systems. This survey documents the persistent rural layout of the area, from the small cluster at Five Corners to the winding course of Brennan Creek in the northeast corner.
