About this map

The confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Kickapoo River defines the landscape of this Crawford County and Grant County border region. Wauzeka serves as the primary settlement, situated where the Kickapoo winds through the valley floor before meeting the broader Wisconsin. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges like Wauzeka Ridge and Dutch Ridge, which rise sharply above the river bottoms and complex slough systems such as Reickman Slough and Shulz Crossing Slough.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Wauzeka Cem and Gran Grae Cem, as well as the small community of Millville to the south. The map documents numerous named landforms including Harris Island and Hacklin Island within the river channels, alongside a dense network of hollows like Dutch Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected topography of the Driftless Area.
