2023 Map of Wykoff

About this map

Wykoff and the northern settlement of Fillmore anchor this section of Fillmore County, where the agricultural landscape is deeply etched by the drainage of the South Branch Root River. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Deer Creek, Watson Creek, and Spring Valley Creek, which converge amidst a series of rural townships. A significant concentration of burial sites, such as the Saint Johns Cem and Saint Killian's Cem in Wykoff, as well as the outlying Midway Lutheran Cem and Duff Cem, provide critical points of interest for those tracing early families in the region. The map also features the natural Freiheit Spring, illustrating the hydrologic character of the driftless-area topography. Tracing the historic paths of Old Timber Br Rd and Oxen Rd reveals the enduring transportation framework that has connected these farming communities for generations.
