About this map

Platteville serves as the primary hub of this 2018 survey, characterized by its dense grid of residential streets like Eastman St and Lancaster St. The city's northern edge is bordered by the Rountree Br, while three major burial grounds—Hillside Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Calvary Cem—are concentrated near the center of town. The surrounding Grant County landscape is defined by the winding course of the Galena River and several tributaries including Snowden Br and French Cr.

Rural settlements and outlying landmarks highlight the area's agricultural and transit history. Small communities such as Ipswich, Bigpatch, and Elmo are connected by a network of county highways and local roads like Mitchell Hollow Rd. To the southeast, the Old Elk Grove Cem and Smelser Cem provide valuable points of reference for genealogists. The presence of the Platteville Municipal Airport near the center of the sheet reflects the modern infrastructure supporting this corner of southwestern Wisconsin.
