2018 Map of La Crosse

About this map

The Mississippi River and its intricate network of sloughs, including Bluff Slough and Mormon Slough, dominate the western edge of this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the dramatic transition from the river bottomlands to the steep, coulee-dissected bluffs of La Crosse and Onalaska. Local landmarks such as Granddad Bluff and Cliffwood Bluff overlook a dense urban grid, while the surrounding area is characterized by numerous valley features like Miller Coulee and State Road Coulee. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the large Oak Grove Cem and Catholic Cem to smaller family-named locations such as Oehler Cem and Klenholz Cem. The map captures the modern transportation infrastructure, including Interstate 90 and the La Crosse Regional Airport, set against the traditional settlements of Medary and Shelby.
