2013 Map of Avalanche

About this map

The W Fork Kickapoo River winds through the village of Avalanche, a central point in this rural landscape within Vernon County. The settlement pattern is defined by high ground, with numerous named ridges such as Asbury Ridge, East Ridge, and Pleasant Ridge separating the valley drainage systems. Water sources are abundant, including the Crume Spring and the localized Reservoir on Seas Br. The road network connecting small communities like Maple Dale and Ross follows the natural contours of the Driftless Area terrain, with routes like State Road 82 and County Hwy-SS crossing the various branches of the Kickapoo, such as Bishop Br and Cook Cr. This modern survey reflects the enduring agricultural character of the region, where family-named roads and remote valley hollows like Brush Hollow persist alongside well-established township corridors.
