About this map

The Wisconsin River dominates this 2016 topography, carving a wide valley where it meets the Kickapoo River at the village of Wauzeka. The river's path is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and backwaters, including Reickman Slough and Shulz Crossing Slough, which separate the mainland from substantial landforms like Harris Island and Hacklin Island. These waterways delineate the boundary between Crawford Co and Grant Co, illustrating the significant role natural hydrology plays in regional governance.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises sharply into a series of named elevations such as Polander Ridge and Campbell Ridge. Local history is anchored by the settlement of Millville to the south and significant community sites like Sacred Heart Cemetery and Gran Grae Cemetery. The landscape is a study in driftless area geography, where deep incisions like Dutch Hollow contrast with the high plateaus of Wauzeka Ridge and Dutch Ridge.
