"Over the course of his 43-year career, James C. Knox conducted seminal research on the geomorphology of the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin. His research covered wide-ranging topics such as long-term land-scape evolution in the Driftless Area; responses of floods to climate change since the last glaciation; processes and timing of floodplain sediment deposition on both small streams and on the Mississippi River; impacts of European settlement on the landscape; and responses of stream systems to land-use changes. This volume presents the state of knowledge of the physical geography and geology of this unglaciated region in the otherwise-glaciated Midwest with contributions written by Knox prior to his passing in 2012 and by a number of his former colleagues and graduate students"--

This is a more advanced and comprehensive volume on the subject which portrays fully, the concept of rural settlements. The author has gone in detail through his field and personal surveys rather than official sources to present the chronological evolution, toponomy, regional distributions size, spacing, density, dispersion, morphological structure, dwellings and problems and planning of rural settlements. Various physico-cultural and techno-economic variables which exert the spatial distributions of rural settlements, have been dealt with the latest available statistical and cartographic techniques upto a micro-level set up. Copiously illustrated with original maps, diagrams and tables, the study describes in simple language the concepts and recent trends in the subject.
