1984 Map of Hixton
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Diphtheria Cem and Smallpox Cem stand as somber markers of the public health challenges faced by early residents in this section of Jackson County. The landscape is defined by the Driftless Area's characteristic coulees, such as Ellingson Coulee and May Coulee, which create a complex drainage pattern into Pigeon Creek and the Trempealeau River. The settlement at Hixton serves as a hub near the junction of the Green Bay and Western railroad and the river, while smaller hamlets like Sechlerville and Northfield anchor the surrounding agricultural valleys. Distinctive natural landmarks like Mound View Rock and Chimney Rock rise above Garden Valley, providing notable orientation points. Local history is deeply embedded in the distribution of community sites, from the Upper Pigeon Creek Ch to the scattered family and church burial grounds including Lutheran Cem and Curran Coulee Cem.
