About this map

Dorset Ridge and its neighboring highland benches define the topography of this Monroe County landscape, where the headwaters of several major drainages diverge. The village of Kendall sits at the eastern edge, serving as a gateway to a network of agricultural valleys including Hoye Valley, Dorset Valley, and Walters Valley. The drainage patterns here are particularly complex, with the Kickapoo River and Baraboo River both drawing from these hills, alongside smaller tributaries like Billings Cr and Spring Valley Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burying grounds that anchor the ridge communities, specifically Dorset Ridge Cem, Dorset Cem, and Saint Matthew Cem. A notable engineering landmark, the Number One Tunnel, is situated near the center of the quadrangle, marking the passage of historical transportation routes through the high ground between South Branch Black Valley and the Baraboo River basin.
