2010 Map of Boscobel

About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this portion of Grant County, creating a complex network of waterways and islands such as Patterson Island and Feather Island just north of the city of Boscobel. The landscape is defined by its deep coulees and hollows, including Hoover Hollow and Chitwood Hollow, which separate high ridges like Irish Ridge and Maple Ridge. This survey captures the transition between the river valley's agricultural operations, like the Dawsons Empire Stock and Dairy Farm, and the upland settlements. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, from Saint Patrick Cemetery in the north to the Marietta Valley Cemetery near the confluence of Richland Creek. Landmarks such as Rattlesnake Point and Easter Rock serve as distinctive navigational markers overlooking the river flats and the nearby Boscobel Airport.
