2010 Map of Dickeyville

About this map

Dickeyville and the smaller settlement of Cornelia anchor this portion of Grant County, where the dendritic drainage of the Little Platte River and its numerous tributaries like Blockhouse Creek and Whig Branch carve through the landscape. The map records several family and local burial grounds, including Harrison Cemetery, Kaump Cemetery, and Piddington Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogists tracing early residents of the region. Evidence of the area's mining history is preserved at the Little Grant Mine located near a sharp bend in the river. The network of rural routes, from County Hwy-B to Clay Hollow Rd, follows the ridges and valleys, illustrating a persistent agricultural and extraction-based economy. Features like the Platte Road Bridge and various creek branches such as Snowden Branch further define the local topography.
