About this map

The confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Kickapoo River dominates this mid-1920s survey of Crawford and Grant Counties. The village of Wauzeka serves as the central hub where the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul RR meets the winding Kickapoo valley line. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-hollow topography, where high ground is occupied by a dense network of country schools such as Swatek Ridge School and Wayne School.

Along the Wisconsin River bottomlands, a complex system of waterways including Bullhead Slough, Woodman Lake, and Miller Slough highlights the shifting nature of the river before modern management. Notable local landmarks like the Crawford County Infirmary and the Anderson Mills site provide specific touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the early 20th-century social and industrial footprint of the region.
