About this map

Wyoming Valley and Jones Valley anchor the northern reaches of this Wisconsin landscape, where the terrain transitions into the creek-carved lowlands of Pleasant Valley. The map detail focuses on the rural communities of Pleasant Ridge and Ridgeway, illustrating a high density of small family and community burial grounds such as Rockwell Mills Cem and Ruggles Cem. These sites, along with Wyoming Cem and Valley View Cem, provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research in Iowa County.

Water management and recreation are evident through the presence of Halverson Lake, Cox Hollow Lake, and Twin Valley Lake. The drainage network, defined by Mill Cr and Lowery Cr, dictates the placement of historical corridors like Hillside School Rd and Chimney Rock Rd. The proximity of landmarks like Bunker Hill and the winding Meadow Valley Trl highlights the enduring rural character of this region.
