About this map

Fountain City serves as the primary riverfront settlement on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, as documented in this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic map. The terrain is characterized by a series of steep ridges and deeply carved valleys, such as Canada Ridge and Doelle Valley, which dictate the local road network. The map reveals a land divided between high agricultural plateaus and lowland creek drainages like Waumandee Creek and Eagle Cr.

Genealogists can locate several burial sites, including Saint Marys Cem, Fountain City Cem, and the more remote Eagle Valley Cem. Notable landmarks along the river's edge include Owl Head and Eagle Point, while the shifting nature of the waterway is noted at Island Number Sixtyfour and Horseshoe Bend. The transportation landscape is defined by local routes such as Henkel Dugway and Baertsch Valley Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Buffalo Ridge and the river valley below.
