About this map

West Lima serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and deep hollows, including Maple Ridge, Newburn Ridge, and Summit Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like County Hwy-D and Bear Rd. The map reveals a deeply rooted farming culture, preserved through specifically named homesteads such as the Great Western Stock Farm, Booher Homestead Stock Farm, and the Laurel Hill Sheep Farm.

Water flows through the valleys via the Kickapoo River and the various branches of Bear Creek, including North Bear Creek and Middle Bear Creek. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds, such as Bear Creek Cemetery, Newburn Cemetery, and Vernon Cemetery, alongside the family-linked Booher Cemetery. This survey documents a quiet rural economy where individual farm identity remains a primary feature of the landscape.
