2015 Map of La Crosse

About this map

La Crosse serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, situated at the intersection of a grid-based rural road network and modern aviation facilities. The town's layout is defined by a dense residential core centered on Main St and 16th St, where local services and historical community foundations meet. The landscape surrounding the settlement is marked by numerous draws and intermittent drainage features like Sand Cr and the geographically distinct Hungry Hollow to the northeast. Genealogy and local history are anchored by three distinct burial grounds: Saint Michael's Cem and La Crosse Cem on the town’s eastern edge, and the more isolated Friends Cem to the northwest. These sites, along with the Rush County Airport, reflect a prairie community that maintains a balance between its traditional agrarian roots and its infrastructure for regional connectivity.
