About this map

The Baraboo River carves a winding path through this Sauk County landscape, connecting the communities of North Freedom and West Baraboo. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of hollows and ridges, from Hoot Owl Hollow in the north to the protected terrain of Baxters Hollow in the south. This area is characterized by its numerous family and community landmarks, including half a dozen burial grounds such as Oak Hill Cemetery and Miller Cemetery, which offer valuable points of reference for local historians.

Educational and geological features are prominent, most notably the University of Wisconsin Baraboo-Sauk County Center located near the eastern edge. Water resources define much of the activity here, from the recreational potential near Seeley Lake and Schraums Dam to the natural drop of Skillet Falls. The road network, featuring Scenic Rd and Old Highway 33, links these small settlements and geographic landmarks through a series of valleys like Pleasant Valley and high points including Sauk Hill.
