About this map

Clyde sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the undulating terrain of Dunbar Hill and Union Ridge defines the drainage patterns of the Otter Creek watershed. The rural character of the early 1980s is evident in the network of ridges and deep valleys, such as Spring Valley and Norwegian Hollow, which dictated the placement of early homesteads and transport routes like Rohowetz Road and Goldmine Road.

Cultural landmarks including St Malachy Ch, Standart Ch, and St Johns Ch are scattered across the township boundaries of Highland, Wyoming, and Dodgeville. Natural features such as Deer Shelter Rock and Big Spring contrast with the area's small-scale industry represented by numerous unnamed quarries. The eastern edge of the map includes a portion of Governor Dodge State Park, where the landscape begins to transition into the more protected coulee country of Southwest Wisconsin.
