About this map

The Kickapoo River and the Baraboo River drainage systems define the high, dissected ridges of Monroe County. Near the village of Kendall, the landscape is a complex network of named coulees and uplands, including the prominent South Ridge and Pleasant Ridge. This topography is shaped by the headwaters of several regional streams, such as Billings Cr and Lydon Valley Cr, which carve deep valleys like Dorset Valley and Kinney Valley.

Transport and community history are anchored by landmarks such as the Number One Tunnel and several upland burial grounds, including Dorset Ridge Cem and Saint Matthew Cem. The map reveals a rural economy organized around these narrow valleys, with settlements and roads following the contours of the land. Researchers can trace the proximity of family-named landmarks like Finucan Valley and Gammerdinger Valley to the early township lines of T16N and T15N.
