2018 Map of Dodge

About this map

The Trempealeau River winds through a landscape of deep coulees and sharp ridges in this western Wisconsin borderland between Buffalo and Trempealeau Counties. The settlement of Arcadia occupies the river plain in the northeast, while the smaller community of Dodge and the hamlet of Pine Creek anchor the southern valleys. The region's topography is defined by prominent features like Fountain City Ridge and Arcadia Ridge, which separate numerous family-named valleys such as Joos Valley, Doelle Valley, and Bohris Valley. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Saint Joseph Cem, Glencoe Cem, and the remote Cortland Cem. The intricate network of township and county roads follows the floor of these valleys, tracing a settlement pattern dictated by the steep driftless terrain and the drainage of creeks like Trout Run Cr and Schmitt Cr.
