2015 Map of Hixton

About this map

The rugged drainage patterns of Jackson County define the landscape of Hixton and Sechlerville in this mid-2010s survey. The area is characterized by numerous "coulees"—deep, narrow valleys—including Ellingson Coulee, May Coulee, and Smith Coulee, which dictate the winding paths of rural infrastructure like Cheese Factory Rd. Of particular interest to local historians are several cemeteries with names that recall the region's public health struggles, such as Diphtheria Cem and Smallpox Cem located in the northern hills. High points like Mound View Rock and Chimney Rock rise above the drainage of the North Br Trempealeau River and Pigeon Cr, while the village of Hixton serves as a local hub near Tank Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of many family-named roads and landmarks, reflecting the generational agricultural layout of the coulee country.
