Getting started with the Edgerton GIS map
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, and for Edgerton that means the Rock County ArcGIS parcel map.
Pulling up a parcel

About 164,278 people call Rock County home (Census estimate, 2023) on about 718 square miles. For land near Evansville, Rock County dates to 1839, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
Edgerton, WI: the basics
The town is part of Rock County, Wisconsin, so its parcels are on the county's map, at least around Clinton. For property near Beloit, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Footville generally follows county rules instead.
Finding the right lot
Acreage around Fulton might not have a street number, so pan the aerial and click the lot. For a tract near Fulton, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Janesville sit with the Register of Deeds. Older tracts around Footville may sit on many deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Aerials, labels and overlays
With a lot near Beloit, look in the layer list for city limits, flood hazard, zoning or soils; availability varies.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Evansville are handled by the county real property listing office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Orfordville are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Sections, lots and bearings
Wisconsin is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Footville cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Footville can be irregular.
