About this map

The Kickapoo River meanders through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows in this 2022 survey of Crawford County. The settlement of Steuben sits at a critical junction of valley roads and the river, while smaller hamlets like Barnum and Plugtown occupy the surrounding high ground and creek basins. The topography is exceptionally distinct, featuring narrow landforms such as The Hogback and a series of named ridges including Vinegar Ridge, Haney Ridge, and Plainview Ridge.

For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several smaller burial grounds that document the area's rural heritage, including the Pioneer Wood-Cook Reynolds Cem and the Pleasant Mound Cem. The drainage patterns of Clear Cr and the various hollows, such as Shaw Hollow and Boydtown Hollow, illustrate the complex drainage network that has historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connecting routes like Haney Valley Rd.
