2022 Map of Avalanche

About this map

Coon Prairie and Round Prairie define the western high ground in this Vernon County landscape, where the terrain drops sharply into the winding valley of the W Fork Kickapoo River. The settlement of Avalanche sits at a critical junction where Seas Br meets the river, while the outskirts of Viroqua reach into the southwestern corner. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Zion Cem and the Asbury Union Methodist Cem along Asbury Ridge. The complex drainage network of Cook Cr, Harrison Cr, and Reads Cr creates a deeply dissected topography of ridges such as Fairview Ridge and Pleasant Ridge. The low-lying Black Bottom in the south provides a stark contrast to the surrounding elevations, illustrating the classic driftless area geography of southwest Wisconsin.
