2018 Map of Ridgeway

About this map

Ridgeway serves as the primary hub in this portion of Winneshiek County, situated where Railroad St and 307th Ave meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and local drainage systems, including Walnut Cr and Ten Mile Cr, the latter featuring the notable Ten Mile Creek Bridge. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain deeply connected to its early settlement history, evidenced by a high concentration of rural burial sites distributed across the townships. Genealogists and local researchers will find interest in the scattered locations of the Madison Settlement Cem, Lincoln Cem, and the Orleans Cem in the north. The proximity of the East Madison Cem and Madison Cem suggests a long-standing community structure centered around these small rural intersections and creek beds like Burr Oak Cr.
