Rural Schools

Spring Valley Township, Rock County, Wisconsin

According to the 1873 atlas and 1917 atlas for Rock County, there were eight rural schools in Spring
Valley Township. I do not know where Beck and Spring Valley Center schools were located. Orfordville school was probably the one in Orfordville (Section 13).
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.
