About this map

Spring Green sits at the northern edge of a complex riverine system where the Wisconsin River winds through a landscape of large islands and sloughs. The geography here is defined by these braided waterways, including Metcalf Island, Deer Island, and Long Island, which are separated by smaller channels like Cynthia Slough and Hutter Slough. South of the river, the terrain rises into the notable heights of Tower Hill and the cultural landscape of Lower Taliesin, situated near Lake 12 and the winding Lowery Cr.

To the north, the Spring Green Prairie provides a distinct ecological contrast to the densely wooded hollows like Big Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of vital community landmarks, including the Big Hollow Cem in the northern uplands and the Old Helena Cem near the riverbank. The transition from the flat prairie and river bottom to the high ridges of Jones Valley and Wyoming Valley illustrates the varied topography that has shaped settlement patterns from Helena to Wyoming.
