About this map

Richland Center serves as the focal point of this Wisconsin landscape, where the Pine River winds through the valley floor. The town's grid is anchored by the Richland County Courthouse and the academic grounds of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Richland. Beyond the municipal center, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, including Chicken Ridge, Oak Ridge, and the winding Jarvis Valley.

Smaller outlying settlements such as Basswood and Dayton Corners reflect the area's rural heritage. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Mayfield Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and Bethel Cem, scattered among the hills. The intricate network of county highways and local roads like Hornet High Rd and Tuckaway Valley Rd traces the natural contours of the Driftless-style topography, connecting isolated farms to the regional center at the confluence of Brush Cr and the river.
