About this map

Maple Ridge and Newburn Ridge define the high ground of this Vernon County landscape, where the terrain breaks sharply into deep coulees and stream valleys. The village of West Lima sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural roads that follow the winding contours of the Driftless Area. The western boundary is marked by the Kickapoo River, which carves through the topography near La Farge.

Tracing family lineages is aided by several small burial grounds, including Newburn Cem and Vernon Cem, situated along the ridges. The intricate drainage network of N Bear Cr, Middle Bear Cr, and Goose Cr illustrates the erosional patterns typical of this unglaciated region. Small settlements like Summit Ridge and Button Hollow are connected by a web of county highways and local routes, reflecting a long-standing agricultural land-use pattern that persists through the modern era.
