About this map

Deeply incised valleys and named ridges define the rural landscape of Grant County just south of the Wisconsin River. This modern topographical study shows the rugged geography surrounding the southern edge of Boscobel, where drainage systems like Crooked Cr have carved out a series of distinct hollows. Family-named locations and landmarks such as Pine Knob and Adkins Ridge offer specific points of interest for local researchers, while the placement of Plum Valley and Spring Valley reveals the traditional agricultural and settlement patterns established along the more level valley floors.

Local history is well-preserved through the documentation of several rural burial grounds, including Brechler Cem, Crown Hill Cem, Bethel Cem, and Switzer Cem. These sites, often situated on higher ground or near historic crossroads, provide essential data for genealogical research. The map's road network, featuring routes like Co RD T and DRY Hollow RD, underscores how the terrain has dictated travel and property boundaries through the various townships, from t7n r3w to t6n r2w.
