About this map

Bloomington serves as the primary hub of this Grant County landscape, situated where the waters of Blake Fork meet several local thoroughfares. The region's geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Military Ridge and Campbell Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Military Ridge Rd and Campbell Ridge Rd. To the northwest, the village of Patch Grove anchors another cluster of settlement, surrounded by fertile lands drained by Sandy Creek and Lane Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Hermitage Cemetery, which are scattered among the ridges and hollows. The map illustrates a developed network of named country roads, such as Hicklin Hollow Rd and Dark Hollow Rd, that trace the natural contours of the Wisconsin terrain. The drainage patterns of Millville Creek and Rattlesnake Creek further emphasize the ridge-and-valley structure of this agricultural area.
