About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this landscape of the driftless area, where the Kickapoo River joins the main flow near Newton Island. The settlement of Woodman serves as a central point in this riverine geography, situated near the oxbows of Woodman Lake and Dead Lake. This 2010 survey illustrates a deeply dissected topography defined by numerous "hollows," including Boydtown Hollow, Dry Hollow, and Brown Hollow, which have long dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads in Crawford and Grant counties.

Local history is preserved through scattered burial grounds like Saint Lawrence Cemetery and Bethlehem Cemetery, often located on ridges above the winding valley floors. The convergence of watercourses, including the Big Green River and Little Green River, highlights a drainage pattern that has historically shaped agricultural boundaries and transportation routes like County Hwy-K and the remote Irish Ridge Rd. Small settlements such as Boydtown and Werley mark the quiet rural character of the region during the early 21st century.
