2010 Map of Crowley Ridge

About this map

Crowley Ridge anchors this upland landscape in Crawford County, where high plateaus are bisected by numerous creeks and the winding Kickapoo River. The terrain is defined by its prominent ridges, including Swatek Ridge and Shanghai Ridge, which have long shaped the settlement patterns and road networks of the region. Local genealogy is anchored at the Shanghai Ridge Cemetery and Stewart Cemetery, while small named clusters such as Citron Valley and Pleasant Ridge sit at the intersections of winding rural lanes. The drainage system is complex, with Pine Creek, Citron Creek, and Duffy Creek carving deep valleys into the driftless-style topography, creating a distinct network of hollows like Walker Hollow.
