1958 Map of La Crosse

About this map

La Crosse anchors this 1978 revision, marking the confluence where the Black River meets the Mississippi River. The landscape is defined by the Coulee Region's distinctive ridges and bluffs, including Grandad Bluff and a series of named heights such as St. Joseph Ridge and Brush Ridge. This survey reveals the mid-century infrastructure of the Driftless Area, showing the extensive rail networks of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago and North Western as they navigate the river valleys.
