2019 Map of Altura

About this map

Altura and Bethany anchor this landscape of deep ravines and rolling uplands in western Winona County. The topography is defined by significant drainage features, including the S Fork Whitewater River flowing through the western valleys and Rollingstone Cr cutting through the southeast. Local geography is marked by distinct landforms such as Straight Valley, Chaffe Ravine, and Kohner Ridge, reflecting the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the driftless region. Genealogists can locate family sites near Hebron Cem and Trinity Cem, or trace early property lines in the surrounding townships. The presence of Crystal Spring and Holt Spring indicates the vital role of natural water sources in the development of these rural communities, which remain interconnected by a dense network of secondary roads and township routes like Co HWY 20 and Maus Dr.
