2013 Map of Platteville

About this map

The Galena River and its numerous tributaries, including Rountree Br and Blockhouse Cr, define the drainage patterns of this corner of Grant County. In the early 21st century, the landscape remains primarily agricultural, punctuated by named family operations such as Digman Farms, Labarge Farm, and Mar - Mic Farm. The city street grid at the upper left transitions into a network of county highways and rural routes connecting smaller communities like Ipswich, Bigpatch, and Elmo. The presence of the Platteville Municipal Airport and the modern configuration of Bus Hwy 151 show the infrastructure supporting this dairy and farming region. Small creek systems like Snowden Br and French Cr wind through the township, providing a detailed look at the local topography and property boundaries in the Driftless Area.
