2013 Map of Rising Sun

About this map

Rising Sun and Liberty Pole serve as primary anchors in this section of the Driftless Area, where a series of prominent ridges and deep hollows dictate the layout of Crawford County roads. The terrain is defined by elevated features like Lennon Ridge, McManus Ridge, and Mickelson Ridge, which separate the various watersheds. North-south travel is largely channeled through Wi-27, connecting the small settlements of Fargo and Rising Sun along the high ground. Numerous valleys such as Hanson Valley and Conway Valley are tucked between these ridges, following the paths of waterways like Tainter Cr. Notable landmarks such as Monument Rock stand out against the rural landscape, illustrating the unique geological character of this region. This survey captures a network of local routes, including Monument Rock Rd and Tainter Hollow Rd, which link remote family farms to the established community at Towerville.
