About this map

Bloomington and Patch Grove anchor this portion of Grant County, where the landscape is defined by the prominent Military Ridge and Campbell Ridge. The geography of the region is shaped by numerous hollows, including Hicklin Hollow, Dark Hollow, and Millville Hollow, reflecting the deeply dissected terrain of the Driftless Area. Historically, this region is noted for its early agricultural development on the fertile Blake Prairie.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several established burial grounds, such as Hermitage Cem, Saint Johns Cem, Patch Grove Cem, and Bloomington Cem. The modern transport network follows ancient pathways, most notably the Great River Rd, which winds through the western portion of the sheet. Watercourses like Sandy Cr, Blake Fork, and Millville Cr drain the uplands, highlighting the relationship between the ridgeline settlements and the valley systems.
