About this map

The Grant River winds through this section of Grant County, joined by numerous tributaries including Blake Fork, Pigeon Creek, and Hackett Branch. This 2010 survey reveals a landscape defined by its rural intersections and historical burial grounds, such as the Hurricane Cemetery and Pleasant View Cemetery. The small settlements of Hurricane, Five Points, and Flora Fountain anchor the local road network, which is punctuated by specific river crossings named for early families or local landmarks, including Porters Bridge and Blackburn Bridge.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and social organization is found in labels like University Farm RD and Bowen School RD, reflecting a well-established rural community structure. This map provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and transportation routes that have shaped this corner of Wisconsin, offering significant detail for those tracking the geography of family homesteads or the placement of rural landmarks like Raiseback Bridge and Wilcox Bridge.
