1983 Map of La Farge
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Kickapoo River winds through the heart of this Driftless Area landscape, anchoring the village of La Farge and the southern settlement of Viola. By the early 1980s, the valley topography was clearly defined by prominent heights like Buckeye Ridge and Buchanan Ridge, while the local transportation history is marked by the winding Old Railroad Grade following the riverbanks. The map reveals a deeply etched agricultural and social fabric, with family-named land features and numerous rural burial grounds such as Salem Ridge Cem and Mt Zion Cem serving as vital links for genealogists. Landmarks like Ft Wales Rock and Indianhead rise above the valleys, while small clusters like Tunnelville and Liberty represent the persistent rural crossroads of Vernon County and Richland County.
