More than 10,000 years ago, small bands of people entered what is now Dodge County on the edge of the receding glacier. As hunters and gathers, early native Ameri-cans followed and hunted herds of large animals and gathered food stuffs. The river systems from the south were used by early inhabitants to reach the wildlife and other resources the county provided in abun-dance. Numerous sites within the county show evidence of the early inhabitants including stone tools, campsites and settle-ments, burial and efgy mounds, garden plots and paintings and carvings on rock outcrops and stones.

The rst white settlers were drawn for reasons of bountiful agricultural lands, with wheat, corn, oats, potatoes and apples being the primary crops. Wheat growing was later replaced with dairying. Before mass settlement and agricultural pursuits, Dodge County was covered mainly with forests, wetlands, prairie and oak savannas.

Dodge County was created in 1836 and named in honor of Henry Dodge, then ter-ritorial governor of Wisconsin. The Town

of Victory was chosen as the County Seat. The Town of Victory was later renamed City of Juneau after Paul Juneau, the son of Solomon Juneau, founder of Milwaukee.

In 1845 iron ore was discovered in May-ville and an iron ore works operated here for several decades until competition from mines in the Lake Superior region closed them. Sawmills and gristmills were widely distributed over Dodge County in the 1870's.

In 1875, John Jossie, came from Switzer-land, developed the variety of cheese known as Brick, and opened the rst factory in the United States to produce brick cheese. The factory operated in Watertown until 1943.

Dodge is a leading county in the produc-tion of cheese, barley, alfalfa, hay and peas for canning. Industries include the manu-facture of wood products, shoes, metal products, lawn care equipment, magazines, stainless steel equipment and ice shing equipment.

This publication has been created and produced for Dodge County Tourism. Every effort has been made to provide the most current and accurate information available. Capital Newspapers, and the organizations represented, assume no respon-sibility for misinformation. Please contact Capital Newspapers, or your local chamber of commerce, with any additions or corrections.

Historical Markers throughout Dodge County have been established by citizens of the county in an attempt to preserve elements of local history. There are eight historical markers established in the County.

Beaver Dam LakeBeaver Dam Lake is the largest lake in Dodge County and the 16th largest in Wis-consin. It was formed in 1842 when a 10 foot dam was constructed on the Beaver Dam River to provide water power. The City of Beaver Dam is located on the southeast shore. Beaver Dam Lake covers approxi-mately 6,600 acres, is 14 miles long, and has over 41 miles of shoreline. It is especially well suited for speedboating, sailing and provides excellent summer and winter shing for northern pike, walleye, bass, catsh, bullhead, and a variety of pansh. Besides shing, the lake is perfect for water-skiing, snowmobil-ing, ice skating and hunting. The city main-tains a half a dozen lakeside parks, among which there are several with shing piers and boat ramps. Picnic facilities for the general public are plentiful, as well as shoreline areas to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons. Tahoe Park on Beaver Dam Lake is home to Beaver Dam's Lake Days celebration and the Beaverland Must-Ski's Water Show. No matter the season, there is always something to do on Beaver Dam Lake.Lake Size: 6,542 AcresMaximum Depth: 11 Ft.

Sinissippi LakeSinissippi Lake was formed by a 12 foot dam, originally erected in 1845, which ooded a marshy valley of the Rock River. The shery consists mainly of carp, bullheads, and northern pike. A large number of waterfowl visit the lake in the spring. Sinissippi Lake is a great place to boat and water ski. The Sinissippi Ski Club founded in 1978 offers "Learn to Ski" programs every summer to teach beginning skiers. The Ski Club also performs together on the lake. Quiet boaters can explore the lake's eight islands includ-ing Anthony and Radloff Islands both of

which have wooded camping and Campers Island, the largest island on the lake. There is also hunting nearby and the bird watching is unsurpassed. Bald eagles, sandhill cranes, herons, and white pelicans all frequent the lake.Lake Size: 2,855 AcresMaximum Depth: 11 Ft.

Fox Lake Fox Lake was originally a smaller natural lake formed by glacial activity. In 1845 it was greatly increased in size and depth by con-struction of an 11 foot dam on Mill Creek. The City of Fox Lake is located on the south-east shore of the lake where city parkland with a boat landing provides recreational access. A town park with a boat landing provides access on the north side of the lake. Fox Lake is heavily used for boating, water skiing, and shing. Fox Lake drains toward Beaver Dam Lake via Mill Creek. Lake Size: 2,625 AcresMaximum Depth: 22 Ft.

Lake EmilyLake Emily is a shallow, fertile lake located in the extreme northwest corner of Dodge County. The lake is principally fed by seep-age, springs and runoff. A four-foot dam as-sists in maintaining the water levels. The lake provides a quality shery primarily of perch, bluegills, largemouth bass, and northern pike and receives heavy usage year round. Much

of the lakeshore is developed with cottages and homes, except for the west side which is still undeveloped. A town-owned boat land-ing provides good shing and boating access on the southern end of the lake.Lake Size: 268 AcresMaximum Depth: 17 Ft.

Lost Lake Lost Lake is located in west-central Dodge County. The lake is mainly seepage fed and drains to Beaver Dam Lake. The lake is pop-ular for shing and hunting although freeze out conditions limit the shery. Much of the shoreline consists of marshy areas. Boat ramps exist on the north and south sides of the lake as extensions of the town roads.Lake Size: 245 AcresMaximum Depth: 11 Ft.

DODGE COUNTY W I S C O N S I N

During the last Ice Age, which ended about 10,000 years ago, a massive ice sheet covered the entire county. The countys topography was shaped by the advance and retreat of this ice mass. Glacial debris was deposited as ground moraine and other glacial for-mations, varying in thickness through-out the county from 100 to 300 feet in depth. There is approximately 400 feet of elevation change with the high-est points reaching 1,200 feet above sea level in the northeast, to 800 feet above sea level in the southwestern portions of the county. The two most prominent topographic features in the county include the very at, marsh areas, such as the Horicon Marsh, and the Niagara Escarpment, which rises 190 feet in some areas.

Nitschke Mounds ParkNitschke Mounds Park is located near the center of DodgeCounty adjacent to the Wild Goose State Trail and just west of the Horicon Marsh. The property contains about 39 preservedanimal efgy, conical and linear mounds believed to have beenconstructed around 800AD - 1100AD. The mounds represent oneof the best surviving examples of the Mound Builders culture that once occupied the Dodge County area. A one mile wood chipped trail with interpretive signs is available around the mounds andthrough the park

The Efgy Mound Builders were located primarily in southernWisconsin and adjacent areas of Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota. The Efgy Mound Builders adopted the use of the bow and arrow, stone tools and also grew corn. Pottery was also an important partof their culture. A garden bed was also identied on the propertynear the springs. A possible pre-historic encampment or villagesite is believed to have been associated with the garden beds.

The Efgy Mound Building culture is distinguished most by theexistence of numerous mounds. Many of these mounds wereshaped to resemble birds and mammals. The Nitschke Moundgroup also contains linear and conical (round) shaped mounds.

The mounds were constructed for a variety of purposes. Manywere constructed for burial purposes while others were built torepresent religious spirits or the supernatural world. Some shapesmay be linked to variousclans, used as symbols, travelguides or resource markers. The truth is, no one re-ally knows what the mounds shapes meant to those who made them.


Trails

Auto ToursThe glaciers that once covered Dodge County have sculpted a landscape ideal for auto touring. Several scenic overlooks around the Horicon Marsh allow you to view the wetlands wildlife.

Follow the brown signs that mark the route of the Horicon Marsh Parkway, a 50-mile auto tour that encircles the Horicon Marsh and follows state and county highways through Burnett, Kekoskee, Horicon, Mayville and Waupun. The Parkway is easily accessible from U.S. Highway 151 or State Highway 41 by following State Highway 33 to access the south end of the Parkway or Highway 49 to access the north end of the Parkway.

Snowmobile TrailsSnowmobile enthusiasts will find an inter-connected system of more than 320 miles of groomed county snowmobile trails that traverse farm fields, woodlots, lowlands and the Wild Goose State Trail, with another 180 miles of unfunded club-owned trails available for use within the County. . Trails provide easy access to trail systems in neighboring counties. The majority of trails cross private lands, where the use of the land is donated or yearly easement payments are made. The funded trails are under the jurisdiction of Dodge County with actual maintenance, development and grooming contracted out to the Dodge County Associa-tion of Snowmobile Clubs. Twenty separate snowmobile clubs work on maintaining and grooming the county trail system each winter.

The club-owned trails tend to serve more of the local users often connecting the county trails and population areas with food, service and overnight facilities. The county trails should and typically do provide higher capac-ity trails linking other Counties in a regional network of predominately north-south and east-west trails.

Horseback RidingDodge County welcomes horseback riding on a separate 14-mile pathway along the Wild Goose State Trail between Highway 60 and Pautsch Road (about four miles north of Burnett). Trail terrain is generally easy riding, although special caution is necessary in areas

with steep side slopes, wet crossings and near highways and roads. The trail surface is grass, dirt and wood chips and winds through wooded and open areas in the right-of-way of the Wild Goose Trail. Horses are not allowed on the limestone-surfaced trail except at designated horse trail crossings.
