About this map

Fountain City sits at the base of dramatic bluffs where the Mississippi River shapes the western boundary of the landscape. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its rugged verticality, with named landforms like Wagners Cliff, Eagle Point, and Owl Head overlooking the river valley. The transportation network is dictated by the terrain, with roads like Wi-35 hugging the shoreline while routes like Canada Ridge Rd and Schaffner Dugway navigate the high ground above the water.

Agricultural and familial history is etched into the topography through numerous named valleys and ridges, including Schoepp Valley, Joos Valley, and Canada Ridge. Waterways such as Eagle Cr and Waumandee Cr cut through these uplands, draining toward Fountain City Bay and the river's main channel at Horseshoe Bend. The map documents the persistent layout of this river town and its surrounding highlands in the early 21st century.
