2013 Map of Galesville

About this map

Galesville sits at the junction of Beaver Cr and the Black River, serving as a central point for this river-valley landscape in the early twenty-first century. The terrain is defined by dramatic rises and low-lying wetlands, with Decorah Mound and Decorah Peak overlooking the Decorah Prairie. To the south, the Black River fragments into a complex network of wetlands and channels, including the New Channel and Van Loon Lake, while prominent landforms like Queen Bluff and King Bluff stand as sentinels over the floodplains.
