About this map

Mississippi River wetlands and the riverbank communities of Buffalo County define this landscape along the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. The river valley is a complex network of side channels and islands, including Pomme de Terre Slough and Haddock Slough, punctuated by numbered landforms such as Island Number Fortynine and Island Number Sixty. The town of Buffalo City is laid out in a grid between the river and Cochrane, which sits tucked against the bluffs of Huber Ridge.

Transport and topography dictate the settlement patterns, with Wi-35 and the railroad corridor skirting the eastern edge of the floodplain. Notable landmarks like Chimney Rock and Bass Camp mark the transition from the water's edge to the high ridges. In the northern reaches, the map traces the winding paths of Screech Owl Cr and Waumandee Cr as they flow through their respective valleys toward the great river.
