2015 Map of Cream

About this map

Waumandee Valley and its various tributaries define this corner of Buffalo County, where the driftless-style topography creates a distinctive pattern of ridge-and-valley settlement. The small community of Cream sits at a crossroads near Zion Cem, while Herold occupies a central position among the winding rural routes like Co Rd E. The landscape is segmented by prominent elevations such as Alma Ridge, Huber Ridge, and Belvidere Ridge, which separate the agricultural activities in Schmidt Valley and Yaeger Valley. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Lincoln Cem and Anchorage Cem. The drainage network, featuring Little Waumandee Cr and Fimian Cr, illustrates how water shaped the location of farms and roads throughout the township boundaries of t21n r12w and its neighbors.
