About this map

Black River Falls serves as the focal point of this 1920s topography, situated where the Black River cuts through the transition from central plains to terminal moraine country. The area’s educational and religious foundations are prominent, featuring the Winnebago Mission and an extensive network of country schools like Houghtonburg School and Cloverdale School. Industry and infrastructure are anchored by the Charter Oak Mill and the intersection of the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha and Green Bay and Western railroads, which facilitated trade through Merrillan and Alma Center. Geologically, the landscape is defined by distinctive sandstone buttes and landmarks such as Silver Mound, Saddle Mound, and Castle Rock, while the winding courses of Halls Creek and Trempealeau River drain the surrounding Garden Valley.
