About this map

Hickory Grove and Homer serve as the primary landmarks in this 2013 survey of northeastern Grant County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Fennimore Fork and the Blue River. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent valleys and hollows, including Coon Valley, Cass Valley, and Gunderson Valley, which dictate the local road network.

Agricultural operations and family-named landmarks are central to the area's identity, with sites like Suncrest Farms, Tuck Away Farms, and Gehrke Farms integrated into the rural fabric. The presence of Blue School Rd suggests the historical locations of early educational centers. Notable geological features like Cedar Cliff and Castle Rock overlook the creek beds, providing a clear picture of the region's physical geography before modern development could obscure these natural waypoints.
