1929 Map of Galesville
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
Marinuka Lake and the village of Galesville anchor this 1920s landscape where the driftless region's coulees meet the broad floodplains of the Mississippi River and Black River. The mapping shows a deeply agricultural society organized around numerous rural schools like American Valley Sch and Penny Sch, while prominent landmarks such as Decorah Mound and Decorah Peak rise sharply above the Decorah Prairie. The topographic detail reveals how early settlement patterns followed the natural drainage of the Tamarack Creek valley and the numerous coulees, such as German Coulee and Holcomb Coulee.
