2018 Map of Beetown

About this map

Beetown and North Andover anchor this southwestern Wisconsin landscape, where the agricultural uplands of Blake Prairie meet a dense network of coulees and creeks. The terrain is deeply incised by Rattlesnake Cr and the Grant River, creating a complex topography that dictated early settlement patterns and road placements like Great River Rd. This survey provides a modern look at rural Grant County, documenting numerous small burial grounds that speak to the area’s long history of family farming, including Dodge Cem, Burns Cem, and the centrally located Beetown Cem. The placement of Diamond Grove at the junction of Diamond Grove Rd and Muscallounge Rd illustrates how these crossroads communities continue to serve as local landmarks amidst the ridges and valleys of the Driftless Area.
