1962 Map of Barneveld

About this map

Chicago and North Western railroad tracks define the lower southern corridor of this Driftless Area landscape, connecting the primary settlements of Barneveld and Ridgeway. The map reveals a deeply dissected terrain of coulees and hollows, where family-named landmarks like Amacher Hollow and Knight Hollow suggest long-standing agricultural roots in the valleys. This 1962 field-checked survey shows a network of rural institutions, including the Hyde Ch and several burial grounds such as Jennieton Baptist Cem and White Church Cem, which serve the dispersed communities north of the rail line.
