About this map

Blanchardville sits at the heart of this landscape, where the Blanchardville Post Office and Bakers Field serve as local anchors. The village is positioned along the winding course of Gordon Creek, which is regulated to the north by the McCoy G 9648 Dam. The surrounding terrain is a network of ridges and drainages, including Jeglum Valley, Step Valley, and McPeace Valley. This rural landscape is dotted with small settlements like Moscow and Postville, connected by a web of county highways and local roads such as Yankee Hollow Rd and Loyalty Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ula Cemetery north of the village, situated near the headwaters of Sawmill Creek. The map documents a classic Midwestern agricultural pattern where farmsteads and rural homes are linked by family-named routes like Kainz Rd and Disrud Rd. The drainage network, featuring Erickson Creek and Kittleson Valley Creek, dictates the placement of the various hollows and transportation corridors that have defined the community's physical layout for generations.
