About this map

The Platte River meanders through the heart of this Grant County landscape, defining the topography of a region marked by agricultural heritage and small rural settlements. The village of Ellenboro and the community of Union serve as the primary anchors of the area, connected by a network of local roads that follow the ridges and valleys of the driftless terrain. A notable upland feature, Buckwheat Ridge, rises above the surrounding drainage basins of Bull Branch and Cannon Branch.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Buckwheat Ridge Cemetery, Whig Cemetery, and Oak Ridge Cemetery, which dot the hillsides near long-standing family farms. Modern infrastructure such as the Martin Fierro Airport and the Baker Ford Bridge over the Platte River illustrate the gradual evolution of transportation in this corner of Wisconsin, while numerous named tributaries like Culver Branch and Lee Branch continue to shape the rural landscape.
