About this map

Potato Hill and Sheep Pasture Bluff rise above a landscape defined by deeply carved drainages along the Juneau Co and Sauk Co border. This area of Wisconsin is characterized by narrow valleys and ridges, where many family-named roads like Wafle RD, Taylor RD, and Shinkle Hill RD trace the upland routes. The geography of the late 2010s shows a quiet rural pattern of life centered around features like Cattail Valley and the winding course of Cattail Valley Cr.

Genealogists can find significant local markers across this terrain, including several rural burial grounds such as Evergreen Cem, Barney Cem, Big Creek Cem, and Saint Paul Cem. Smaller water features, including 0.58 Reservoir and 0.48 Reservoir, sit near the heights of Potter Ridge. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, from the northern bluffs near Pollard Rock down to the southern creek branches feeding into the Twelvemile Cr system.
