1983 Map of Sabin

About this map

The branching ridges and valleys of Richland County define the landscape surrounding Sabin and Bosstown in the early 1980s. This survey illustrates a rural interior dominated by dairy-farming terrain, where numerous cemeteries like Mill Creek Cem and Mt Tabor Cem provide a genealogical record of the townships of Sylvan, Bloom, and Marshall. The map documents a transition from an era of local country education at the Washington Sch and Sylvan Sch to a more contemporary landscape that includes a Radio Tower and private airstrips like the S & S Ranch Landing Strip. The dense network of hollows, including English Hollow and Searles Hollow, follows the drainage patterns toward the West Branch Mill Creek and Marshall Creek, revealing the intricate topography that dictated early settlement roads and field patterns in this portion of the Driftless Area.
