The map
Watertown straddles the line between Jefferson and Dodge counties in southeastern Wisconsin, roughly midway between Milwaukee and Madison. German immigrants settled much of it in the nineteenth century. In 1856 Margarethe Schurz opened the first kindergarten in the United States here, in her home. The town is also known for its Octagon House, a large mid-nineteenth-century residence built on an eight-sided plan.
The Rock River shapes the map. It winds through the centre in a pronounced bend, and a dam widens it into a broader stretch within town. Downtown sits around the river crossings. A largely regular grid of streets extends on both sides, broken by the river's curves, parks along the banks and the railroad lines that once tied the town to Milwaukee.
A Watertown map poster suits families with roots in Wisconsin's German settlements, people who went to school here and anyone who has spent time along the Rock River. The tidy grid and the river curving across it give the print both order and movement at any size.
The river winds through the heart of town in a broad curve. It divides the street grid and gives the map its most recognisable shape.
Bridges carry Main Street and other roads over the river, and the downtown blocks cluster around these crossings in a compact commercial core.
Beyond the river, straight streets and rectangular blocks reflect nineteenth-century town planning and are filled with older houses and quiet residential lanes.
