2018 Map of Rising Sun

About this map

Rising Sun and Liberty Pole anchor this ridge-top landscape along the border of Vernon and Crawford Counties. The topography is defined by narrow, winding ridges such as Nash Ridge, Lennon Ridge, and Mcmanus Ridge, which separate deep coulees and hollows like Hornby Hollow and Torgerson Hollow. This drainage pattern feeds into various watercourses, including Hornby Cr and the S Fork Sugar Cr. The settlement pattern follows the high ground, with crossroads like Fargo and Towerville serving as local hubs. The Towerville Cem and the natural landmark Monument Rock provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots or local geography. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Wisconsin environment where the road network, including Co Rd B and numerous named local routes, strictly adheres to the challenging local relief.
