This is the Kickapoo and Pine River country of the Driftless Area, mapped hollow by hollow, twenty-two years after the county was organized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixteen village plats follow, several to a page, showing lots and owners in Richland Centre, Richland City, Lone Rock, Viola, Sextonville, Cazenovia, Boaz, Ithaca, Rockbridge, Orion, Port Andrew, Excelsior, Loyd, Spring Valley, Woodstock, and Yuba — small places then and smaller now, and in a few cases gone entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume closes with a territorial history of Wisconsin, the population of the state by county from the census of 1870, and the large folding rail road and sectional map of Wisconsin, showing the lines as they ran in 1874.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA county atlas answers the one question a census cannot: not who lived in the county, but who owned which forty acres, and where the farm stood in relation to the creek, the school and the road.
