2022 Map of Loyal West

About this map

The Black River forms the primary drainage corridor for this portion of Clark County, winding through a landscape of agricultural tracts and watercourses. Small rural centers such as Loyal and Christie define the local settlement pattern, which is organized around a strictly surveyed grid of county roads and section lines. Notable local topography is centered on Christie Mound, a distinct rise situated just north of the village of Christie. The map preserves the locations of local burial grounds, including the East Side Cem and York Center Cem, which provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research in this dairy-farming region. Numerous smaller streams like Cawley Cr and Panther Cr weave through the township divisions of T26N R2W and T25N R1W, reflecting the well-watered nature of the central Wisconsin plains.
