2013 Map of Hixton

About this map

The Trempealeau River and its various tributaries, including the N Br Trempealeau River and Stony Cr, carve a landscape of deep valleys and distinct rock formations in this part of Jackson County. Local topography is defined by numerous coulees, such as Ellingson Coulee and Fall Coulee, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Ellingson Rd and May Coulee Rd. This 2013 survey shows the settlement of Northfield positioned near the headwaters of Pigeon Cr, while Hixton serves as a southern hub where Interstate 94 and the river intersect. Land use is largely agricultural and rural, highlighted by landmarks like Cain's Orchard and Spring Creek Farms. Distinctive geological features including Mound View Rock and Chimney Rock stand as prominent landmarks above the creek beds, providing a clear sense of the area's unglaciated character.
