About this map

The East Br Pecatonica River winds through this landscape, anchoring the village of Blanchardville and its surrounding agricultural terrain in the early 21st century. The map reveals a deeply etched valley system, where named features like Jeglum Valley, Step Valley, and Hay Hollow follow the drainage of local tributaries such as Sawmill Cr and Erickson Cr. These valleys dictate the placement of rural corridors like Hay Hollow Rd and Drammen Valley Rd, showing how the physical geography continues to shape movement in this corner of Wisconsin.

Evidence of early settlements and rural crossroads appears at Moscow and Postville, while Yankee Hollow marks a distinct pocket in the southern portion of the sheet. Modern infrastructure, including the Blanchardville Wastewater Treatment Facility, sits alongside older rural landmarks, providing a clear view of the area's development. This survey is particularly useful for identifying family-named geographic features and tracing the connection between the river valley and the hilltop roads that define the region's character.
