About this map

Irish Ridge and Sandhill Ridge define the high ground of this Monroe County landscape, which is deeply carved by the branching headwaters of several creek systems. The settlement of Dell serves as a central point in this rural area, where the terrain transitions into the distinct Twentyfour Valley and Wolf Hollow. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistence of small rural crossroads like Potts Corners and Heiser Valley within a complex network of valley-and-ridge roads.

The drainage patterns of Brush Cr, Upper Brush Cr, and Lower Brush Cr dominate the northern portion of the map, while Weister Cr and its tributaries such as Indian Cr wind through the southern reaches. Local infrastructure is characterized by numerous named valley roads and ridge-top routes, reflecting a classic Driftless Area settlement pattern where farms and homesteads follow the narrow creek bottoms and prominent high points.
