About this map

Dutch Hollow Lake and its intricate residential network dominate the northern landscape, reflecting modern land use in this part of Wisconsin. Further south, the map reveals a legacy of agrarian settlement, characterized by numerous named agricultural operations such as the Lone Pine Stock Farm, Little Valley Dairy and Stock Farm, and Village View Stock Farm. These family and commercial farm labels provide a detailed record of land ownership and local industry in the valleys of the Little Baraboo River.

The historic village centers of La Valle, Ironton, and Cazenovia serve as the primary hubs for the region's transport and commerce. Geologic and natural features like Horse Bluff and Hemlock Slough frame the river corridors, while the La Valle Mill Pond 2.43 indicates the early industrial utility of the Baraboo River. The area is defined by a series of named hollows and valleys, including English Valley, Frog Hollow, and Buckwheat Valley, which have long dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
