2018 Map of Dickeyville

About this map

The Little Platte River snakes through a deeply dissected landscape in south-central Grant County, defining the agricultural and residential patterns of the region. The city of Platteville occupies the northeastern corner of the map, while the village of Dickeyville anchors the southwest, connected by the arterial path of the Great River Rd. Between these centers, the terrain is carved by numerous tributaries including Blockhouse Creek, Whig Branch, and Blakely Branch. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals several smaller rural nodes and family burial sites, such as the cross-road settlement of Cornelia and the dispersed locations of Harrison Cemetery, Kaup Cemetery, and Piddington Cemetery. This survey illustrates how the ridge-and-valley topography has dictated the placement of local thoroughfares like Maple Ridge Road and the crossing at the Platte Road Bridge.
