About this map

Arthur and Rewey serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and mining landscape of Southwest Wisconsin, where the borders of Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette counties meet. The region is defined by the winding course of the Little Platte River and its tributaries, including Williams Branch and Mounds Branch. Evidence of the area's lead and zinc mining history is visible in the numerous sites marked as Inactive Mine, Mine Dump, and Quarry scattered across the northern sections near the border of Clifton and Mifflin.

Social and educational life in the early 1950s is deeply rooted in the rural schoolhouse system, with several named institutions such as Sunny Dale Sch, Hazel Dell Sch, and the already Walnut Grove Sch (Abandoned) documented. The Chicago and North Western railroad cuts through the southern reaches, connecting the farming community to wider markets. Significant topographical landmarks like the Platte Mounds and Little Mound rise above the surrounding fields, providing distinct navigational points for local residents and land surveyors alike.
