About this map

The Baraboo River carves a deep path through the driftless-style terrain of central Wisconsin, anchoring the village of Wonewoc. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by dramatic ridges and narrow valleys, where family-named landforms like Mullin Ridge, Pleasant Ridge, and Potter Ridge rise above the drainage of Crossman Cr and Gardner Cr. The settlement pattern remains deeply rooted in the area's 19th-century foundations, evidenced by the numerous small burying grounds dotting the hills, including Saint Anns Cem and Saint Peters Cem.

South of the main settlement, Plum Valley and the distinctive formations of Castle Rocks provide a stark contrast to the nearby Three Castles Airpark. The map documents a network of county roads and local routes, such as Co RD G and Co RD O, that navigate the winding topography. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of rural cemeteries like Pine Eden Cemetery and Hochmuth Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the community's ancestral farmsteads.
