About this map

The Pine River winds through the driftless valley of Richland Center, carving a path through a landscape defined by prominent topographic features such as Chicken Ridge and Pauls Hill. This 2016 survey highlights the concentrated urban grid of the county seat, where the Richland Center Millpond serves as a central landmark near the river's bend. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small rural nodes like Basswood, connected by a network of winding roads including Co Hwy ZZ and Tuckaway Valley Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the township, including Brown Cem, Bowen Cem, and Dayton Corners Cem. The map also documents the religious and social geography of the era, noting the Bethel Ch and its namesake Bethel Cem to the southwest. The terrain is characterized by a series of named valleys and elevations, such as Jarvis Valley, Fox Hollow, and Hoosier Hollow, which have long shaped the agricultural and settlement patterns of this Wisconsin region.
