2013 Map of Esofea

About this map

Esofea anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated near the winding course of the N Fork Bad Axe River. This region of Vernon County is defined by its dramatic driftless-style topography, where high ridges like North Ridge, Bohemian Ridge, and West Portland Ridge separate deep drainage coulees. The names on the land reflect a strong heritage of Scandinavian and European settlement, with features such as Rundahl Coulee, Lindvig Ridge, and Lovaas Ridge marking the family-owned hillsides and valleys. A dense network of local roads, including Meyer Rd and Bagstad Ln, connects these isolated homesteads and ridges. Significant watercourses like Coon Cr, German Coulee, and Timber Coulee Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex watershed that drains toward the Mississippi River system.
