2016 Map of Plain

About this map

The village of Plain serves as the focal point for this Sauk County landscape, where the town grid meets the winding courses of Honey Cr and its tributaries. To the north, the terrain is defined by a series of distinct valleys that shaped local settlement patterns, including Shannahan Valley, Lins Valley, and the aptly named Sandpit Valley. The man-made White Mound Lake provides a significant water feature near the hilltop landmark of White Mound. Genealogists will find several key burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Saint Lukes Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem near the village to the more isolated Whitemound Cem further north. The map also captures the smaller settlement of Loreta, situated among the complex network of hollows like Big Hollow and Nachreiner Hollow Rd, illustrating the persistence of early agricultural communities.
