About this map

Highland and the smaller settlement of Centerville anchor this portion of Iowa County, where the driftless landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and deep drainage valleys. The terrain features prominent landmarks such as Bohemian Ridge, Farmers Ridge, and Red Oak Ridge, which separate the various branches of the Blue River. These watercourses, including Sixmile Br, Big Spring Br, and Big Rock Br, have carved a complex topography that includes distinctive formations like Sunset Rock and the drainage of Irish Hollow.

A network of county highways and local roads, such as State Road 80 and County Hwy-Q, follows the ridgelines and valley floors, connecting isolated farmsteads to the village center. The map also documents modern infrastructure, including the Highland Wastewater Treatment Facility, while preserving the traditional place names of the family-settled uplands and wooded breaks typical of southwest Wisconsin.
