2018 Map of Readstown

About this map

Readstown and Soldiers Grove sit along the winding Kickapoo River, which carves a deep path through the driftless terrain of southern Vernon Co and northern Crawford Co. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts between high ridges like Flannagan Ridge and low-lying valleys such as Spring Valley and Black Bottom. The rural character of the region is punctuated by small settlements like Folsom and several small burial grounds that speak to the area's pioneer history, including Hooverson Cem and Kickapoo Cem. Steep bluffs and local landmarks like Eagle Rock overlook the river valley, while numerous small waterways including Reads Cr and Sherry Cr feed into the main river channel, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this unglaciated portion of Wisconsin.
