2018 Map of West Lima

About this map

The boundary between Vernon and Richland counties bisects this landscape of dramatic ridges and valleys, centered on the settlement of West Lima. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent uplands including Summit Ridge, Maple Ridge, and Newburn Ridge, which separate the various tributaries of the Kickapoo River. The transport network follows these natural contours, with roads like Newburn Ave and Co Hwy D winding through Cherry Valley and Button Hollow. This 2018 survey reveals a well-established rural infrastructure where small family and community burial grounds, such as Bear Creek Cem and Booher Cem, remain preserved among the agricultural tracts. Near the western edge, the village of La Farge sits along the banks of the Kickapoo River, illustrating the historic relationship between Wisconsin's river systems and its valley settlements.
