2016 Map of Rising Sun
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Rising Sun and Liberty Pole anchor this portrait of the driftless region, where the Crawford and Vernon county line bisects a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep valleys. The settlement pattern follows the high ground of Nash Ridge and Lennon Ridge, with farmsteads connected by a web of rural routes like Monument Rock Rd and Hinkst Hollow Rd. Topographic detail reveals the intricate drainage of Tainter Cr and Hornby Cr, which have carved out locally named features such as Hornby Hollow and Torgerson Hollow. Genealogists will find the location of the Towerville Cem near the small community of Towerville, providing a precise look at the historic centers of Crawford County before modern development. Notable landmarks like Monument Rock stand out among the various ridges, including Helgerson Ridge and Mickelson Ridge.
