About this map

Richland Center serves as the focal point of this region, where the Pine River and Brush Creek converge near the University of Wisconsin Center-Richland. The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley topography of southwest Wisconsin, specifically naming Chicken Ridge, Oak Ridge, and Jarvis Valley. This 2010 survey reflects a deeply ingrained dairy and livestock heritage, preserving numerous family-named operations such as Colaton Stock Farm, Collins Dairy and Stock Farm, and Russells Stock Farm.

Infrastructure like the Parfrey Dam and the 1b D-31.11 Dam on Mill Creek indicates the ongoing management of the area's waterways. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several rural burying grounds including Dayton Corners Cemetery, Ash Creek Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery. The settlement of Basswood remains a distinct marker in the southwest, while the outskirts of the county seat show the transition from civic spaces like the Richland Center Post Office to the surrounding agricultural patchwork.
