About this map

Clyde serves as a central point in this northern Iowa County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement and transit. The map traces the winding paths of Hunter Hollow and Norwegian Hollow, showcasing how early roads like Hunter Hollow Rd and Maple Hollow Rd followed these natural depressions. Notable landmarks such as Percussion Rock and Deer Shelter Rock stand out as distinctive geologic features, while the Rock Church Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Water plays a critical role in the area's geography, with Otter Cr and Dickinson Cr carving through the hills. Rural infrastructure is well-represented, including the private Southwind Airport near the center of the sheet and various farm-to-market roads like Co Rd M and Co Rd ZZ. The presence of named elevations like Dunbar Hill and Union Ridge underscores the topographical complexity of this part of Wisconsin's Driftless Area.
