About this map

Boscobel sits at the northern edge of this driftless region landscape, where the Lower Wisconsin River State Wildlife Area meets a complex network of deeply incised valleys and high ridges. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by topography, with numerous small quarries dotting the hillsides near Sanders Creek and Crooked Creek. Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds across the townships of Marion, Hickory Grove, and Mount Ida, including Brechler Cem and Crown Hill Cem.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with named routes like Wisconsin Valley Road and Sleepy Hollow Rd navigating the divides. Distinctive landmarks such as Pine Knob and the Hickory Grove Country Club serve as anchor points in a terrain dominated by agricultural clearings and forested slopes. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the meandering path of the Big Green River and the high elevation of Adkins Ridge.
