About this map

Summit Ridge forms the backbone of this driftless area landscape, where the Elroy Sparta State Trail follows an old rail grade through the northern valleys. The settlement of St Marys serves as a central point in Jefferson township, while the village of Norwalk sits at the eastern edge where several local roads converge. This 1980s terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of valleys such as Lyon Valley, Halls Valley, and Spring Valley, each carved into the high plateau.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several denominational landmarks, including St Johns Ch and the neighboring Summit Ridge Cem, as well as the Catholic Cem and Pilgrims Home Cem near Norwalk. Conservation efforts are evident at the Pinnacle Rock State Fishery Area, centered around the prominent Pinnacle Rock landmark. Numerous quarries throughout the region highlight the local extraction industry during this era.
