About this map

Military Ridge State Trl winds through the uplands of Iowa County, tracing the historic corridor between Dodgeville and Ridgeway. This 2022 survey captures a landscape defined by the dendritic drainage of the Driftless Area, where numerous family-named branches like Blotz Br and Gribble Br carve through the terrain toward the Dodge Branch. The settlement pattern remains centered on established rural crossroads and small towns, with Jonesdale situated in the southeast corner near Tuschen Airport.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered burial grounds that mark the region's heritage, including Saint Bridget's Cem near Ridgeway and Garrison Grove Cem tucked along McGraw Rd. The map detail shows the modern transportation network, from the Dodgeville Expy to the section-line roads that still follow the original public land survey grid, providing a clear view of how agricultural tracts and local homesteads are organized today.
