About this map

Blake Prairie characterizes the upland landscape of this corner of Grant County, where the transition from level agricultural plateaus to deeply etched stream valleys defines the local geography. The settlement at Beetown serves as a focal point in the southeast, situated near the confluence of Beetown Br and the Grant River. This area is particularly rich in genealogical landmarks, with numerous small burial grounds such as Saint Marys Cem, Ramsey Cem, and Providence Cem scattered throughout the rural townships.

Transportation routes like the Great River Rd and Co Hwy V link the primary communities of North Andover and Diamond Grove. The drainage pattern is complex, with Rattlesnake Cr and its tributaries, including Hackett Br and Muskellunge Cr, cutting through the terrain. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads, many of which are identified by local names like Settlement Rd and Garden Prairie Rd.
