About this map

The confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Kickapoo River defines the landscape of this river-valley region along the Crawford and Grant county line. This geography dictated the placement of early settlements like Wauzeka and Woodman, which sit near the fertile but marshy bottomlands of the lower Wisconsin valley. The map documents numerous water features that dominate the floodplain, including Woodman Lake, Dead Lake, and the complex network of Bullhead Slough.

Moving away from the river, the terrain rises into prominent formations such as Little Irish Ridge and Adkins Ridge, intersected by deep valleys like Dry Hollow and Foxboro Hollow. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating local landmarks, including the Bethlehem Cem and Saint Lawrence Cem, which reflect the area's rural settlement history and the distribution of early communities like Werley and Boydtown.
