About this map

The Trempealeau River winds through this West Central Wisconsin landscape, anchoring a valley where the Green Bay and Western railroad serves the established communities of Blair and Taylor. The late 1960s terrain is marked by a complex network of coulees and ridges, with the Trempealeau and Jackson County line bisecting the survey area. Distinctive community hubs such as Pigeon Falls and Hixton appear alongside smaller settlements like Sechlerville and Disco.

Genealogical and local history markers are prevalent, including the Amish Sch in the west and several country burial grounds like Sechlerville Cem and Pigeon Creek Cem. The transition from river bottom to upland is evident in the numerous named coulees and local roads such as Rabbit Run Road and Bradley Coulee Road. Small-scale aviation and industry are noted via the Erickson Landing Field and various sand and gravel pits scattered across the hills.
