About this map

The Wisconsin River serves as the dividing line between Sauk and Iowa Counties in this modern survey, defining a landscape of low-lying islands and complex tributary networks. To the north, the terrain is characterized by deep valleys such as Federman Valley and Badger Valley, while to the south, the flat expanse of the Arena Prairie dominates the geography. The village of Arena sits at the southern edge of this prairie, positioned near the Arena Cem and the route of the local rail corridor.

Local landmarks provide points of elevation and historical reference, including Point Bluff in the north and the prominent Coon Rock to the south. Genealogists may find the locations of Davis Cem and the smaller settlement of Cassell useful for tracing family ties to the rural townships. The map also detail the winding paths of Blue Mounds Creek and Mill Cr as they feed into the river basin near Cedar Island.
