About this map

Apple River and the rural borderlands of Jo Daviess Co meet the Wisconsin state line in this survey of the driftless region's rolling landscape. The Pecatonica River winds through the eastern portion of the map, serving as a focal point for the settlements of Gratiot and Riverside. This area is characterized by a dense network of country roads, including Dublin Rd and Dunbarton Rd, which connect scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites like Kingsley Cem, Gratiot Cem, and Highland Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, such as Wolf Cr, Trout Brook, and Kentucky Cr, which dictate the placement of early infrastructure. The map also records several small water management features, including 0.37 Reservoir and 1 Reservoir, reflecting the local intersection of natural drainage and human modification.
