1983 Map of Rising Sun
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The rolling Driftless Area along the Vernon and Crawford County line is defined here by a series of narrow ridges and deep hollows. Small agricultural settlements like Rising Sun, Liberty Pole, and Fargo are situated along the high ground, connected by a network of winding roads such as Dolan Road and Traastad Road. The landscape is etched with complex drainage systems including Hornby Hollow and Tainter Creek, while landmarks like Monument Rock and Nash Ridge provide distinctive navigational points. Local life is centered around community hubs like St James Ch and the Center Sch near Liberty Pole. This 1980s-era survey captures a rural Wisconsin landscape where topography dictates the patterns of settlement and travel, showing numerous small family-named ridges like Lathan Ridge and McManus Ridge.
