2015 Map of La Crosse

About this map

La Crosse sits prominently along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River, where the state lines of Wisconsin and Minnesota meet. This mid-2010s survey reveals the dense urban development of the city center, which is bounded by a series of dramatic geographic features including Granddad Bluff, Grandson Bluff, and the marshy expanses of Green Island and the La Crosse River Marsh. The map provides a detailed view of the regional educational and civic hubs, showing the campuses of the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, Viterbo University, and Western Technical College. To the east, the landscape transitions into a complex of ridges and coulees, such as Saint Joseph Ridge and Boma Coulee. Numerous historic burial grounds like Oak Grove Cem and Woodlawn Cem are documented, alongside suburban expansions in Onalaska and Shelby.
