1983 Map of Valton

About this map

Debello Ridge and Marble Ridge define the complex driftless-style topography where Richland, Vernon, and Sauk counties meet. This early 1980s data, revised from mid-century photogrammetry, shows a landscape of narrow ridges and deep valleys like Simpson Hollow and Grimes Valley. The rural character is anchored by small community centers like Valton and the road junction at Benders Corners. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped religious and burial sites, including St Patricks Ch, Debello Cem, and Greenwood Cem. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Quarry and Quarries locations scattered along the valley floors, while the Little Baraboo River and Melancthon Creek provide the primary drainage for the surrounding highlands of Greenwood and Henrietta.
