About this map

Coon Valley and Chaseburg anchor this topographical study of Vernon County, Wisconsin, where the Driftless Area landscape is defined by its characteristic ridge-and-valley formation. The meandering course of Coon Creek carves through the center of the sheet, flanked by prominent elevations like North Ridge and Misna Ridge. This 2010 survey shows a well-established network of rural routes, including County Hwy M and County Hwy KK, that follow the winding contours of the land.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the naming of topographical features after early settler families, seen in Krause Cemetery and Hellwig Cemetery. The map captures the distinct agricultural pattern of the region, where farmsteads are concentrated along fertile coulees like Koll Coulee and Roesler Coulee, while high ground such as Brinkman Ridge and Enterprise Ridge provides expansive views over the surrounding watershed.
