2018 Map of Plain

About this map

Plain sits in the southern portion of this Sauk County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural and valley networks. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct drainage basins and lowlands, including Sugar Grove Valley, Shannahan Valley, and Big Hollow, which illustrate the complex topography of the Driftless Area. In the north, White Mound Lake and the settlement of White Mound highlight the local water resources, with Honey Cr and its branches carving through the limestone-rich countryside. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Saint Lukes Cem near Plain and the Whitemound Cem further north. Smaller nodes of settlement like Loreta are connected by a web of county roads and lanes, such as Co Rd GG and Co Rd N, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and valleys.
