About this map

The Wisconsin River carves a broad valley through the Driftless Area of Richland County, anchoring the village of Lone Rock and its surrounding agricultural landscape. This 2010 survey highlights a deeply established farming tradition, with legacy properties like the Plainview Stock and Dairy Farm, Mayflower Dairy Farm, and Oak Grove Stock Farm dotting the plateaus and bottomlands. These family-named operations suggest a specialized dairy and grain economy that has persisted even as infrastructure modernized.

South of the river, the terrain shifts into the draws of Penn Hollow and Wyoming Valley. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Button Cemetery and North Otter Creek Cemetery. Water management is prominent along the river's north bank, evidenced by the Bakkens Pond and Long Lake Flowage 3WR237 Dam, which create significant wetlands and recreation areas near the Lone Rock Boat Landing. The presence of the Tri-County Regional Airport indicates the area's role as a regional transit hub between the river bluffs.
