About this map

Ontario and Rockton sit within a landscape deeply carved by the Kickapoo River and its numerous tributaries. This survey illustrates the intricate network of ridges and narrow valleys that define this portion of Wisconsin, including Pleasant Ridge, Moon Ridge, and Fairview Ridge. The topography is particularly pronounced at Wildcat Mountain State Park, where landmarks like Wildcat Mountain, Mount Pisgah, and Flag Rock overlook the winding river valley.

Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, including Hilltop Rest Cemetery near Ontario and Calvin Day Cemetery to the northeast. The map documents numerous named hollows and valleys, such as Johnnycake Hollow, Bee Hollow, and Brey Valley, which reflect generations of local nomenclature. Transport throughout this dissected terrain is facilitated by routes like County Hwy-W and the scenic Taylor Valley Rd, following the natural contours of the land.
