2013 Map of Coon Valley

About this map

Coon Valley and Chaseburg anchor this topographical study of Vernon County, defined by a complex network of ridges and narrow valleys known locally as coulees. The path of Coon Cr dictates the local geography, winding through the center of the map past landmarks like Hohlfeld Coulee and Koll Coulee. The upland terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Brinkman Ridge, Gronvold Ridge, and Pumpkin Ridge, which separate the various drainage basins. The road network, including Us-14 61 and County Hwy-K, follows these natural contours, illustrating how the driftless area's unique geology has shaped modern transportation and settlement patterns. Further south, Enterprise Ridge and Bunker Hill provide significant elevation changes, while Dodson Hollow serves as a notable lowland feature amidst the surrounding heights.
