2016 Map of Steuben

About this map

The Kickapoo River meanders through Crawford County, carving a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The settlement of Steuben sits at the river's bend, while smaller hamlets like Barnum and Plugtown occupy the surrounding higher ground. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in the Driftless Area, where narrow roads like Taylor Ridge Rd and Hilltop Ridge Rd follow the topography of the land. For genealogists, the map is a significant resource, pinpointing several family-named burial sites including Haney Ridge Cem, Posey Cem, and Graves Cem. The interplay of terrain and history is evident in named landmarks such as The Hogback and Boydtown Hollow, showing how the geography has dictated the placement of farms and cemeteries across the townships of t9n r4w and t8n r4w.
