About this map

Sugar Grove and the surrounding Driftless Area ridges define this landscape where the borders of Vernon, Crawford, and Richland counties converge. The terrain is a complex network of high ground and deep hollows, featuring Pleasant Ridge, Buchanan Ridge, and Hustler Ridge separated by the winding Kickapoo River and its numerous tributaries like Day Cr and Trout Cr. The settlement pattern follows these natural contours, with small communities such as North Clayton, Sylvan, and Readstown situated near the intersections of county highways and local routes.

Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds scattered across the heights, including Manning Cem, Berry Cem, and Hopewell Cem. The drainage patterns are particularly clear here, showing how Plum Run and Sheridan Cr carve through the North Clayton Ridge. The presence of the J & B Airport near the eastern edge provides a modern navigational point amidst a network of older roads like Kokamonjo Rd and Elk Creek Rd.
