The settlement of Newton sits as a central point in this Vernon County landscape, where the dissected plateau of the Driftless Area creates a dense network of ridges and deep valleys. The topography is defined by the N Fork Bad Axe River and the S Fork Bad Axe River, which have carved out distinct named features such as Purdy Norwegian Hollow and Lars Anderson Hollow. The naming conventions throughout the area, including Pumpkin Ridge, Irish Ridge, and Tewalt Ridge, reflect a history of family landholdings and ethnic settlement patterns common to this part of Wisconsin.
