About this map

The tri-county intersection of Jackson, La Crosse, and Monroe counties defines this driftless landscape, where ridges and coulees dictate the patterns of rural settlement. In the southeast, the small crossroads of Four Corners sits atop the high ground above Upper Burns Valley, while the periphery of Melrose occupies the northwest corner near Stevens Lake. The terrain is characterized by numerous named heights, including Hippler Hill, Wadels Hill, Heller Hill, and the prominent Twin Peaks.

Watercourses like Sand Creek, Fisher Creek, and Fleming Creek have carved distinct valleys such as German Valley, Pleasant Valley, and Browns Valley. Genealogists and local historians will find the Sand Creek Cemetery near the center of the map, situated among a network of rural roads such as Backtrail Road and Wanlass Road that follow the natural topography of the coulees, including Raffelson Coulee in the south.
