About this map

La Crosse and its surrounding driftless topography are documented here in detail, showing a landscape defined by the winding La Crosse River and a series of prominent bluffs. The urban core includes landmarks like the University of Wisconsin and the La Crosse Post Office, while the city's eastern expansion is checked by steep terrain features such as Granddad Bluff, Cliffwood Bluff, and Miller Bluff.

Outside the city center, the map traces the residential and rural development of communities like Holiday Heights, Medary, and Shelby. The area is notably characterized by its numerous coulees, including Kiel Coulee, Miller Coulee, and State Road Coulee, which dictate the local road network. Several local cemeteries, such as Woodlawn Cemetery, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, and Oehler Cemetery, offer important reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking the region's heritage.
