About this map

Lake Wisconsin and the Wisconsin River dominate the southern half of this landscape, where the waters widen into Whalen Bay and Stoners Bay. The terrain to the north is defined by a series of significant ridges and ravines, including the South Range and North Range, which rise above valley features like Dog Hollow and Cat Hollow. This topography creates a secluded setting for Durwards Glen, a site of spiritual and historical interest nestled near Petras Ravine.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the Saint Camillus Novitiate Cem near the glen to the Caledonia Cem and Saint Pauls Cem in the north. The map also records numerous family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, such as Tipperary Point and Townhall Hill. Drainage patterns are well-defined by Prentice Cr and Rowley Cr, which cut through the uplands before reaching the river system below.
