2022 Map of Hurricane

About this map

The Grant River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Grant River and Pigeon Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through this portion of Grant County. Small settlements such as Hurricane, Flora Fountain, and Five Points anchor a landscape defined by ridgeline roads and deep valleys. The distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Pleasant Ridge Cem, Morrell Cem, and Kinney Cem, indicates a long-settled rural character maintained through the early 21st century. Road names like Grays Mill Rd, Bowen School Rd, and Slabtown Rd hint at former centers of local industry and education that shaped the social fabric of the townships. This topographic study captures the area's transition from the upland divides down to the river bottoms at a time when the traditional land divisions of T4N R4W and T3N R3W remain the fundamental grid for this Wisconsin community.
