About this map

Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin River dominate the southern and eastern stretches of this Columbia County landscape, where the water's edge meets a complex interior of ravines and bluffs. The namesake Durwards Glen sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by a high density of small family and denominational burial grounds, including the Saint Camillus Novitiate Cemetery, Indian Farm Cemetery, and Caledonia Cemetery. These sites, along with the American Ukranian Camp, suggest a deeply rooted community history tied to specific cultural and religious groups.

Terrain features like Cascade Mountain and Owls Head Hill overlook the river valley, while the presence of the Devils Head Golf Course indicates the area's modern role in recreation. The map's network of country roads, such as Pigtail Alley Rd and Durwards Glen Rd, connects these high points and historical sites, tracing the natural contours formed by Prentice Creek and Rowley Creek as they flow toward the main river channel.
