About this map

Gilmanton sits at the junction of several drainage valleys in central Buffalo County, where the Buffalo River and Elk Creek converge. The landscape is defined by its deep, named valleys such as Bennett Valley, Turner Valley, and Lee Valley, which mirror the winding path of the local county highway system. To the north, the Helwig H 1605 Dam on the Buffalo River marks a point of water management, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the heights of Eagle Peak and the drainage of Waumandee Creek.

For researchers and genealogists, the map identifies specific burial grounds including Gilmanton Cemetery and Lincoln Cemetery near Stage Valley. Notable landmarks like Tom Mountain and the settlement of Praag in the southwest corner provide fixed points for tracing local history. The network of rural roads, including Lovely RD and Fisken Valley RD, reveals the distribution of family homesteads across this dissected plateau terrain.
