About this map

Yellowstone Lake and its surrounding Yellowstone Conservation Area form the centerpiece of this southern Wisconsin landscape on the border of Iowa and Lafayette counties. The topography is defined by the winding course of the East Branch Pecatonica River and tributaries like Schurch Creek and McClintock Creek. The rural character of the early 1960s is preserved through the placement of numerous country schools, such as Woodlawn Sch and Durkin Sch, which served the farming families of Waldwick and Blanchard.

Transport and industry are marked by the Illinois Central Railroad corridor following the river valley, while several quarries scattered across the hills suggest local limestone extraction. The small community of Hollandale sits at the northern edge, while older spiritual and social centers like St Michaels Ch and the Calvary Cemetery provide essential touchpoints for genealogists researching the residents of the Moscow Valley.
