About this map

Mount Horeb and Cross Plains anchor the southwestern and northern reaches of this Dane County landscape, documenting the modern footprint of these established communities. The village of Klevenville and the settlement of Pine Bluff sit among the valleys and ridges that define the local topography, while Sand Ridge occupies the western edge. This area is characterized by its drainage into several water systems, including the Sugar River and Black Earth Cr, which move through the agricultural and residential corridors.

Genealogists and local historians can find several notable burial sites including North Side Cemetery, Saint Ignatius Cemetery, and Union Cemetery. The map also traces the winding path of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail as it traverses the eastern sections of the quadrangle. Significant water features like Stewart Lake and the Pryes Feeder provide a clear view of the hydrological network supporting the region's development.
