About this map

Highland Prairie Cemetery and the settlement of Bratsberg anchor the northern landscape of this Fillmore County map, which documents a region defined by its narrow ridges and winding river valleys. The topography is shaped by the South Fork Root River as it passes through Choice, with numerous tributaries like Diamond Creek and Shattuck Creek cutting into the surrounding upland farms.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the North Highland Cemetery and Highland Cemetery near the village of Highland, alongside the Wisel Cemetery to the south. Unique local landmarks like Pigtail Ridge and a network of named township roads, such as Viertnan Rd and Bearbower Rd, illustrate the enduring layout of this agricultural community as it appeared in the early 21st century.
