About this map

Dickeyville anchors the southern edge of this Grant County landscape, where the confluence of the Little Platte River and the Platte River dictates the local topography. This 1961 survey, with revisions from 1972, documents a rural environment shaped by agriculture and the region's mining heritage. Industrial activity is visible in the hills east of the river, specifically at the Little Grant Mine and several noted Quarry sites.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant family history markers scattered across the four townships of Harrison, Platteville, Paris, and Smelser. The map records several legacy burial grounds, including Harrison Cem, Kaump Cem, and Piddington Cem. Educational landmarks such as Maple Glen Sch and Rock Sch appear alongside rural community hubs like Mt Zion Ch and the small settlement of Cornelia, providing a detailed view of the county's social fabric during the mid-20th century.
