Schools: Janesville Township

Rock County, Wisconsin

According to the 1873 atlas and 1917 atlas for Rock County, there were seven rural schools in Janesville
Township. I do not know where Willowdale was located.
The location and current status of these school buildings is given below (using the modern road names).
The numbers given to each school are mine and not district numbers. Thanks to Georgia Roe for the names of the schools.
