2018 Map of Brodtville

About this map

Bagley and Brodtville sit nestled within the dramatic bluff country where the Wisconsin River meets the Mississippi River at the junction of Wisconsin and Iowa. The landscape is dominated by narrow ridges and deep hollows, such as Military Ridge and Borah Ridge, which guided the early road networks through Crawford and Grant counties. The river bottomlands are a complex network of channels and landforms including Weniger Island, Hovie Island, and State Line Slough. For those tracing local history or family heritage, the map identifies specific rural landmarks like Bagley Cem and Flint Cem, alongside numerous named hollows like Gasner Hollow and Ready Hollow that define the unique topography of this river confluence area. The placement of these features reflects the historical reliance on ridge-top travel and river-access points in this corner of the state.
