About this map

The Mississippi River carves a deep valley through the Driftless Area, defining the border between Wisconsin and Iowa. On the eastern bank, the village of Cassville sits beneath the bluffs of Dietrich Heights, where the Cassville Post Office and Saint Charles Cemetery anchor the local community. Across the water, the settlement of North Buena Vista is perched above the river, accompanied by its own North Buena Vista Post Office and several rural landmarks such as Immaculate Conception Cemetery and Buena Vista Cemetery.

The landscape is characterized by numerous steep ravines like Brewery Hollow and Dark Hollow, while the river itself is a complex network of islands and side channels, including Jack Oak Island, Sweezy Island, and Wood Duck Slough. Farther inland, the map preserves the locations of early rural education at Hefel School, Buena Vista School, and Saint John School, alongside family-named ridges and peaks like Hefel Ridge, Balltown Ridge, and the prominent Sugar Loaf.
