2018 Map of Mount Zion

About this map

Mount Zion and the surrounding coulees of southwest Wisconsin are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows that bridge the border of Crawford and Richland Counties. The landscape is marked by historic rural settlements like Rolling Ground, Montgomeryville, and Jimtown, which sit atop high ground or along the winding valleys of Knapp Cr and its tributaries. Local history is deeply embedded in the numerous hilltop and valley cemeteries, including Union Hill Cem, Mook Cem, and Tavera Cem, which serve as landmarks for early family farmsteads. The terrain transitions from the steep descent of Sleepy Hollow and Long Hollow to prominent heights such as Saint Phillips Ridge and Harrigan Ridge. This 2018 survey also identifies contemporary features like the Leeward Farm Airport, illustrating how aviation and modern county highways like Co Hwy S have integrated with a topography traditionally shaped by the local creek system.
