1962 Map of Hurricane

About this map

Grant River and its numerous tributaries, including the Little Grant River and Pigeon Creek, define the dissected topography of this corner of Grant County in the early 1960s. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, punctuated by small crossroads and community hubs like Hurricane and the vanished post office locale of Flora Fountain. Several township boundaries, including Beetown and Little Grant, intersect here, revealing the enduring 19th-century administrative structure of the Wisconsin driftless area.
