About this map

Trempealeau River meanders through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep valleys, creating a distinct topography where agricultural settlement follows the floor of numerous coulees. The village of Dodge and the community of Pine Creek serve as local hubs in this area, which spans the boundary of Buffalo and Trempealeau counties. The map captures a transition from the elevated Fountain City Ridge in the northwest to the lower valley floor, showing how roads like River Road and Co Rd J navigate the difficult terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Bohris Valley Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and Glencoe Cem. The naming of numerous valleys such as Meyers Valley, Bill Valley, and Joos Valley provides a clear link to the families who historically settled these drainages. To the south, Arcadia Ridge overlooks Pine Creek Valley, marking the high ground between the river systems and the southern agricultural lands.
