About this map

Potato Hill stands as a central topographic landmark in this section of the Driftless Area, where the borders of Juneau and Sauk Counties meet. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, including the Little Lemonweir Cr and the branching reaches of W Br Big Cr. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where narrow ridges like Potter Ridge and steep valley formations such as Bass Hollow dictate the winding path of local roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem, Barney Cem, and Big Creek Cem. To the south, the waters of Lake Redstone begin to appear, marking a transition toward the recreational and residential development near the county line. The presence of Sheep Pasture Bluff and Pollard Rock further highlights the distinct sandstone outcroppings and bluff systems characteristic of this part of Wisconsin.
