1983 Map of Mt. Sterling

About this map

Mickelson Ridge and Boma Ridge define the high terrain of Crawford County, where the dendritic drainage of Copper Creek and its branches carve deep valleys into the landscape. This 1983 revision reveals the rural character of southwestern Wisconsin, centered on the village of Mt Sterling and the community of Seneca. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, preserving the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and local burial grounds like Eitsert Cem, Pioneer Cem, and Evergreen Cem. Settlement patterns remain tied to the ridge tops and valley floors, with traditional country churches such as Utica Ch and St Patricks Ch acting as anchors for the surrounding townships of Freeman, Utica, and Seneca. Several quarries point to local extractive activity amidst the agricultural fields and wooded hollows.
