About this map

Durwards Glen and the surrounding Columbia County landscape are defined by the dramatic meeting of the South Range and the Wisconsin River valley. This 2022 survey reveals a dense network of early rural heritage sites, particularly along the Sauk Co Columbia Co boundary. The area is notable for its high concentration of family and denominational burial grounds, including the Indian Farm Cem and Caledonia German Methodist Cem, which serve as vital markers of the region's 19th-century settlement patterns.

The terrain is characterized by sharp relief where the highlands break into Dog Hollow and Cat Hollow, eventually sloping toward the expansive waters of Lake Wisconsin. Waterfront features like Tipperary Point and Whalen Bay illustrate the recreational and geographic importance of the river, while the village of Merrimac sits at the southwestern edge of the quadrangle. Local landmarks such as Owls Head Hill and Townhall Hill provide distinct topographic orientation for those studying this portion of the Wisconsin Baraboo Range.
