About this map

The East Branch Pecatonica River winds through this section of the Driftless Area, where the village of Blanchardville serves as a primary hub at the intersection of Iowa, Lafayette, and Green counties. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent coulees and ridges, such as Indian Hill Ridge and Yankee Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Drammen Valley Rd and Hay Hollow Rd.

In the eastern portion of the survey, the small community of Postville sits near the headwaters of Erickson Cr. Local genealogy and land use patterns are anchored by features like the Ula Cem and numerous named valleys, including Lee Valley and Jeglum Valley. The drainage network, featuring Gordon Cr and Sawmill Cr, illustrates the deeply carved topography characteristic of this southwestern Wisconsin region.
