About this map

The Black River carves a deep path through Jackson County, serving as the central artery for Black River Falls. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of river management, featuring the Black River Falls Dam near the city center and the Perry Creek Dam to the south. The landscape is punctuated by geological landmarks like Castle Mound and Silver Mound, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the expansive Cranberry Flowage, a clear indicator of the region's agricultural specialized water usage.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of the Winnebago Mission to the north and the presence of community markers such as Decorah Cemetery and Olson Cemetery. Small rail-and-road junctions like Brockway, Vaudreuil, and Sheppard trace the movement of goods and people around the county seat. The layout also includes modern infrastructure such as the Black River Falls Area Airport and a complex network of local roads including Mission Rd and Deer Print Trl.
