2016 Map of Sugar Grove

About this map

Sugar Grove and the surrounding Driftless Area of Wisconsin are defined by a complex network of high ridges and deep hollows, where the Kickapoo River and its W Fork Kickapoo River carve through the landscape. This 2016 survey shows a rural geography where community life is centered on scattered settlements like Viola, North Clayton, and Sylvan. The terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Pleasant Ridge, Buchanan Ridge, and Hustler Ridge, with winding roads like Sugar Grove Rd and Co Hwy U following the natural contours of the land. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its placement of family and community burial grounds, including Manning Cem, Berry Cem, and Saint Peters Cem. From the small J & B Airport in the northeast to the northern edge of Soldiers Grove, the map documents a resilient rural structure where topography dictates the path of every stream and thoroughfare.
