2016 Map of Bratsberg

About this map

Highland and the surrounding Fillmore County agricultural landscape are defined by the winding course of the S Fork Root River and its varied tributaries. The terrain transitions from the elevated Pigtail Ridge in the north to the deeply carved valleys shaped by Shattuck Cr and Wisel Cr. Small rural hubs like Bratsberg and Choice anchor the township divisions of t103n r8w and t102n r9w, connected by a network of gravel and paved roads including Co HWY 37 and Co HWY 12. For those tracing local heritage, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, such as Highland Prairie Cem and Kopperud Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for families tied to these driftless area settlements.
