2016 Map of West Lima

About this map

La Farge sits at the northwestern edge of this 2016 survey, where the Kickapoo River flows through the dissected landscape of the Driftless Area. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent high points, including Maple Ridge, Newburn Ridge, Summit Ridge, and Pleasant Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of the local road network. Settlement patterns follow these ridges and the narrow valleys below, such as Welker Hollow and Button Hollow. Small rural communities like West Lima and Cherry Valley are documented alongside numerous family-named cemeteries. Genealogists may find value in the placement of Bear Creek Cem, Newburn Cem, Vernon Cem, and Booher Cem, which serve as lasting markers of the area's agricultural history. The complex drainage system includes Bear Cr, Middle Bear Cr, and Goose Cr, all feeding the regional river network.
