About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Dell serves as the central point for this survey of the driftless region's intricate topography along the Monroe Co and Vernon Co boundary. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where family-named landmarks like Buckeye Ridge and Irish Ridge separate deep drainage basins. Water flows through numerous named valleys, including Heiser Valley and Twentyfour Valley, feeding into creeks such as Weister Cr and Upper Brush Cr.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved in the placement of rural burial grounds, including Dell Cem, Bad Axe Cem, and Home Cem. The road network follows the dictates of the terrain, with routes like Norwegian Valley Rd and W Norwegian Valley Rd winding through the lowlands, while Wang Ridge and Lowers Ridge carry traffic along the high ground. Small reservoirs and cattle ponds are scattered throughout the draws, illustrating the enduring agricultural character of this portion of Vernon County.
