About this map

Arkansaw and Eau Galle anchor this landscape where the Eau Galle River and its various tributaries carve through the upland terrain of western Wisconsin. The hydrology is the defining characteristic of the area, featuring Lake Eau Galle and a complex network of streams including Little Missouri Cr, Missouri Cr, and Little Arkansaw Cr. The topography is marked by distinct ridges and named rises such as Coburn Ridge, Maple Ridge, and the sharp prominence of The Hogback.

Local landmarks often bear family names, providing a window into the land's history for genealogists and researchers. Features like Joe Gray Coulee, Stringer Hill, and Weisinger Hill sit alongside natural valleys such as Weber Valley and Twin Valley. The map shows the established rural road system, including County Hwy-D and S County Hwy-P, which connect these dispersed settlements and agricultural corridors across the winding course of Arkansaw Cr.
