2015 Map of Black River Falls

About this map

Black River Falls serves as the central hub of this Jackson County landscape, where the Black River carves a deep path through the driftless-adjacent terrain. The township lines of T21N and T22N organize a region defined by its prominent landforms, most notably the towering Castle Mound and the culturally significant Silver Mound. To the northeast, the Winnebago Mission sits near the winding riverbanks, while the south is characterized by the expansive wetlands of the Cranberry Flowage. The map documents a sophisticated network of named rural roads, including Wa Ka Ja Junk Rd and His Ja Te Hi Rd, which reflect the area's deep indigenous heritage. Smaller settlements like Vaudreuil and Sheppard flank the modern transportation corridors, while local genealogy is grounded at sites such as Decorah Cem and Olson Cem.
