About this map

Dairy country in Clark County is defined by a dense network of country roads and family-centered landmarks in this early 1980s study. The village of Riplinger sits at the junction of Riplinger Road and Popple River Road, serving as a central hub for the surrounding townships of Green Grove, Colby, and Unity. The landscape is a mix of woodlots and drainage basins, with the South Fork Popple River and Nelson Creek carving through the northern sections while the Yellow River and Rock Creek navigate the southern reaches.

Local history researchers will find a high concentration of institutional markers that reveal the settlement's social fabric. Numerous rural spiritual centers like St Johns Ch and St Lukes Ch are paired with a significant number of cemeteries, including Beaver Cem and Pine Grove Cem. These points, along with the Gravel Pit and scattered Townhall sites, provide a detailed look at the infrastructure of these Wisconsin farming communities.
