About this map

The Kickapoo River winds deeply through the heart of the Driftless Area in the mid-1920s, anchoring a landscape defined by narrow valleys and prominent ridgelines. The river valley serves as the primary corridor for commerce, where the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR connects riverside settlements like Soldiers Grove, Readstown, and Gays Mills. Away from the water, the upland plateaus are divided by family-named landmarks such as Swiggum Ridge, Mickelson Ridge, and Gunderson Ridge, reflecting the Norwegian and European immigrant heritage of the region's farming community.
