About this map

Mapleton serves as the primary hub of this landscape where the Maple River valley meets the surrounding loess hills of Monona County. The town's grid is detailed with streets like Main St and Walnut St, flanked by community landmarks including James G. Whiting Memorial Field and the local high school. Genealogy and local history are anchored here by three distinct burial grounds: Mount Hope Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Heisler Cem.

The surrounding rural sections are defined by a complex drainage network where Pumpkin Run, Simmons Cr, and Heisler Cr carve through the terrain. Notable landforms such as Poverty Hollow and Dutch Hollow illustrate the area's physical character, while the persistent section-line road system, including Obrien Ave and Pocahontas Ave, connects the farmsteads that have long shaped this agricultural region.
