2016 Map of Ramey

About this map

Morrill and Ramey anchor a rural landscape defined by the transition between Morrison and Benton counties during the mid-2010s. This survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, where small settlements like Brennyville and Jakeville are linked by a grid of township roads and county highways. The drainage patterns of the Elk River and Saint Francis River wind through the southern half of the map, carving through terrain dotted with numerous small wetlands and marshes. A high concentration of cemeteries, including Saint Joseph's Cem, Polish National Catholic Church Cem, and Lone Pine Cem, highlights the area's genealogical depth. The proximity of Cross Lake to the village of Ramey and the placement of churches along secondary routes like Co Hwy 12 illustrate a long-standing pattern of settlement focused on small-scale agriculture and parish life.
