About this map

Highland and the settlement of Centerville anchor the southeastern portion of this Iowa County landscape, where the topography is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage basins. Bohemian Ridge and Farmers Ridge stand as high ground above the many winding tributaries, including the Blue River, Sixmile Branch, and Big Spring Branch. The road network follows the ancient contours of the land, with routes like Snowbottom Rd and Dry Bone Rd connecting valley floors to the higher elevations.

Local landmarks such as Sunset Rock and Big Rock punctuate the terrain, while Saint Johns Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for those researching family ties to this rural Wisconsin community. The map reveals a pattern of agricultural land use and small-scale settlement integrated into the hollows, such as Irish Hollow and Badger Hollow, which have long shaped the local identity of this region.
