About this map

The Baraboo River and its tributaries carve a complex landscape of ridges and hollows through this portion of Sauk County. The village of Rock Springs serves as a central hub, situated where Narrows Cr joins the main river channel, while the smaller settlement of LaRue sits to the southeast near a prominent Reservoir. Local geography is defined by distinctive landforms with names like Devils Chair, Camels Hump, and Diamond Hill, suggesting a terrain shaped by erosion and varying elevations.

Genealogists can find the Saint Paul Cem and Maple Hill Cem positioned on the high ground, documenting the area's rural history. The map detail reflects a transition from valley bottoms to high ridges like Honey Creek Ridge and Elder Ridge, connected by a network of local roads including Golf Course Rd and Quarry Rd. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character and topographic complexity of the Wisconsin landscape in the mid-2010s.
