2013 Map of Steuben

About this map

The Kickapoo River carves a deep, winding path through the driftless landscape of Crawford County, anchoring the small settlements of Steuben and Barnum. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural terrain defined by sharp elevation changes, where high points like The Hogback, Haney Ridge, and Plainview Ridge dictate the placement of local roads. The road network, including Wi-131 and Wi-179, often follows the contours of the river valley or the spines of the ridges, connecting the isolated homesteads and pockets of activity like Holliday Farm and Plugtown. The map captures the intricate drainage system of the region, where numerous named hollows such as North Star Hollow and Childs Hollow feed into Richland Cr and Clear Cr. The presence of Railroad St in Steuben reflects the historical importance of rail transit through this river-valley corridor, even as modern infrastructure like County Hwy-E serves the contemporary community.
