2013 Map of Ettrick

About this map

The community of Ettrick serves as the focal point of this Trempealeau County landscape, situated at the confluence of several watercourses and major local thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by its dramatic coulee geography, with deep valleys like Smikrud Coulee, Linderund Coulee, and Abraham Coulee cutting through the upland ridges. These landforms dictate the settlement patterns and road networks, as seen in the linear distribution of Upper French Creek and Frenchville along the primary drainage of French Creek. Further south, Johnson Peak provides a significant topographic landmark overlooking the wider valley of Beaver Creek. Small historic locales such as Iduna and Chapultepee are mapped along the narrow ridge roads and creek beds, illustrating the traditional rural organization of this Driftless Area region. The mapping of numerous local lanes, such as Brekke Ridge Rd and Skorstad Rd, provides a high-resolution view of the area's contemporary rural structure and land use.
