2015 Map of Hegg

About this map

The rugged driftless topography of Trempealeau and Jackson counties defines this 2015 study, where deep valleys known as coulees dominate the landscape. Named features like Trump Coulee, German Coulee, and Joe Coulee illustrate the agricultural and residential patterns of the region, as roads frequently follow these natural drainage ways. The settlement of Hegg sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, while Beachs Corners and Franklin mark other historic nodes in the rural network. Waterways such as N Fork Beaver Cr and S Fork Beaver Cr wind through the lowlands, providing the geographical framework for the area's development. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Pioneer Cem and the distinctive elevation of Thimble Peak, offering researchers clear evidence of the long-standing community structure in this part of Wisconsin.
