2022 Map of Colfax North

About this map

The Red Cedar River carves a winding path through this portion of western Wisconsin, defining a landscape of deep valleys and rising terrain like Bronken Hill. The area is characterized by several distinct rural congregations and their associated burial grounds, which serve as central points for local genealogy and heritage. Key sites include Holden Lutheran Church and its Holden Lutheran Cem, alongside the North Running Valley Church and the Faith Lutheran Church of Running Valley. Tributaries such as Trout Cr, Popple Cr, and Running Valley Cr feed into the main river system, creating a network of drainage that influenced early road placement. At the southern edge, the village of Colfax sits near the confluence of Eighteenmile Cr, marking the primary settlement hub for the surrounding agricultural townships.
