About this map

The Wisconsin River and its broad valley define the landscape of this Grant County region, where the Kickapoo River joins the larger waterway near Wauzeka. The river's influence is evident in the wetland features like Bullhead Slough, Woodman Lake, and the expansive Newton Island. These lowlands transition sharply into the dissected uplands of the Driftless Area, marked by prominent landmarks such as Ward Ridge and Irish Ridge.

Settlement patterns follow the coulees and ridges, with the villages of Woodman and Boydtown positioned near the river breaks. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Lawrence O'Toole Catholic Church Cem and the Rosendale Cem. The complex topography of the area is revealed through the numerous named valleys, including Boydtown Hollow, Brown Hollow, and Foxboro Hollow, which illustrate how generations of families carved out farmsteads and communities within the folds of the terrain.
