About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates the landscape as it flows past the town of Boscobel, creating a complex network of islands and backwaters. Notable landforms along the riverbanks include Trumbull Island, Patterson Island, and the prominent Rattlesnake Point. The surrounding bluffs and valleys are defined by numerous named hollows, such as Chitwood Hollow and Wannamaker Hollow, which historically organized the local agricultural settlement patterns.

Agricultural heritage is particularly well-documented through named farmsteads and dairy operations including Carlin Dairy, the Maple Bluff Stock Farm, and the Dawsons Empire Stock and Dairy Farm. These labels provide specific geographic markers for family researchers and historians of Wisconsin's dairy industry. In addition to the town center, smaller locales like Plugtown and Westport are situated along the major transportation routes of Us-61 and Wi-60, while the presence of both Sky Hollow Airport and Boscobel Airport highlights the region's aviation infrastructure.
