About this map

Crooked Creek and its narrow valley carve through the heart of this Driftless Area landscape, guiding the path of Old Highway 61 toward the Wisconsin River in the northwest. The terrain is defined by a series of deeply etched drainages and ridges, including Pine Knob and Adkins Ridge, which create natural corridors for early settlement and travel. Small communities and crossroads such as Long Hollow and Walker Corner are situated along these ridges, reflecting a rural economy tied to the land.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy land use through several established burial grounds, including Brechler Cemetery, Crown Hill Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Switzer Cemetery. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of the Big Green River and a collection of family-named hollows like Munn Hollow, Butternut Hollow, and Fisher Hollow, illustrating how the physical geography of Grant County dictated the development of its homesteads and road networks.
