2018 Map of Independence

About this map

The Trempealeau River winds through this section of Wisconsin, anchoring a landscape defined by deep coulees and valley settlements. The city of Independence sits at the heart of the map near Bugle Lake, while the county seat of Whitehall appears to the northeast along the riverbanks. The terrain is marked by distinct family and geographic landmarks such as Traverse Valley, Korpal Valley, and Wickham Valley, illustrating the historic settlement patterns of the region. Local heritage is preserved in sites like Saint Stanislaus Cem near Arcadia and Greenwood Cem in the north. The transportation network, ranging from the Independence Airport to rural routes like Skroch Valley Rd and Pocker Coulee Rd, shows how these communities remain connected across the steep rises of Weaver Hill and the surrounding ridges.
