About this map

The Trempealeau River flows through the southeastern portion of this Jackson County landscape, anchoring the village of Hixton. The geography is defined by a series of steep drainages including Ellingson Coulee, Curran Coulee, and Fall Coulee, which create a complex pattern of ridges and valleys. Several small settlements such as Sechlerville and North Branch appear alongside rural landmarks like Chimney Rock and Mound View Rock.

For genealogists and local historians, the presence of specific burial grounds provides significant insight into the community's past, notably the Diphtheria Cem and Small Pox Cem, which stand as somber reminders of early regional epidemics. Other established sites include the Upper Pigeon Creek Lutheran Cem, Curran Valley Cem, and Trinity Rest Cem. This modern survey records the enduring layout of family-named roads, from Severson Rd to Swede Town Rd, reflecting generations of settlement near the headwaters of Pigeon Creek and Beaver Creek.
