About this map

Bloom City and Gillingham anchor this rural landscape in Richland County, where the agricultural heritage of Wisconsin is written across every section line. The map reveals a high density of named family operations, from the Evergreen Stock and Dairy Farm near Woodstock to the Benton Dale Stock and Grain Farm along Marshall Creek. This persistent pattern of named homesteads, such as the Gillingham Homestead, reflects a deeply rooted community where land identity is tied to specific lineage and livestock specialization.

Water management and local history intersect at landmarks like the Huffman Brothers Dam G7723 on the West Branch Pine River. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points across the terrain, including English Ridge Cemetery and Spring Hill Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early settlement. The geography is defined by the winding paths of Fancy Creek and several named hills, including Cribben Hill and Campbell Hill, which have dictated the layout of the county highway system.
