About this map

Baraboo serves as the regional hub for this part of Sauk County, dominated by the dramatic topography of the North Range and South Range. The landscape is defined by the deep basin of Devils Lake, flanked by the prominent West Bluff, East Bluff, and South Bluff. A series of basins and meadowlands, such as Hanson Basin, Feltz Basin, and Roznos Meadow, reveal the complex drainage patterns feeding into Manley Creek and the Baraboo River.

Genealogists will find numerous small cemeteries scattered across the township, including Jones Cem, Zuch Cem, and Brewster Cem. Long-distance recreational routes like the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the Great Sauk State Trail follow the natural contours of the land, passing landmarks like Sauk Point and the Lower Narrows. Near the southern edge, the village of Merrimac sits near the Gallus Slough, marking the transition to the river valley.
