About this map

Sugar Grove and the surrounding Crawford County highlands are defined by a mosaic of multi-generational family farms and steep ridges at the start of the 21st century. The landscape follows the winding course of the Kickapoo River and the West Fork Kickapoo River, which carve through the terrain near Manning Cemetery and Berry Cemetery. This map records a dense concentration of named agricultural properties, from Purple Stock Farm to Pleasant View Farm, indicating a persistent rural land-use pattern where farm identities remain tied to the geography.

Further south and east, the settlements of Sylvan and North Clayton anchor the upland ridges, including Hopewell Ridge and Hustler Ridge. The presence of specialized sites like the Big Spring Landing Strip near the Big Spring Stock and Grain Farm suggests a modern intersection of aviation and traditional agriculture. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved here, including the Maiben Cemetery and Saint Peters Cemetery.
