1984 Map of La Crosse

About this map

The Mississippi River valley serves as the central artery for this tri-state region, where the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge dominates the riparian corridor. On the Wisconsin side, La Crosse and Onalaska stand as the primary urban centers, with French Island and Lake Onalaska highlighting the complex water system. Across the river in Minnesota, the topography shifts into the deeply dissected ridges of the Richard J Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest, a landscape marked by dozens of named geographic features like Vinegar Hill and Oak Ridge.
