About this map

Mount Hope and Mount Ida anchor this rural landscape in western Wisconsin, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the Little Grant River and its numerous tributaries. The area reflects a deeply rooted agricultural tradition, evident in the network of farm-to-market roads like Pleasant Valley Rd and Ridge Rd that navigate the high ground of Irish Ridge and Little Irish Ridge.

Genealogists will find significant historical value in the various family and community burial grounds, including Saint Lawrence Cemetery, Casler Cemetery, and the Little Grant Cemetery. The map also documents modern land use and infrastructure, from the private landing strip at C Jeidy Farms Airport to the Pluemer G8020 Dam in the southeast. Small residential clusters like Shady Dell appear alongside traditional watercourses such as Martin Branch and Millville Creek, illustrating the long-standing relationship between the local hydrology and the settlement patterns of Grant County.
