About this map

Valton and Benders Corners serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Vernon County, where the landscape is defined by a dense concentration of named agricultural estates. The prevalence of stock and dairy operations, such as the Spring Brook Stock and Dairy Farm, Keystone Stock Farm, and Big Spring Stock and Dairy Farm, underscores the region's enduring commitment to dairy farming. These named farms are woven between prominent landforms like Debello Ridge, Hickory Ridge, and Marble Ridge, which separate the various creek valleys.

Waterways like the Little Baraboo River and Melancthon Creek carve through the terrain, with infrastructure including the Polk 3SD78806 Dam and Satterlee G5136 Dam managing local water resources. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Shreve Cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery, and the Saint Patrick Lutheran Cemetery, providing a spatial record of the area's rural communities.
