2018 Map of Lookout

About this map

Lookout sits at the junction of several deeply cut coulees near the Buffalo and Trempealeau County line, characterizing the intricate topography of western Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by its series of distinct ridges and valleys, including the prominent Montana Ridge and Silver Fox Ridge that separate drainage systems like Waumandee Creek and Traverse Valley Creek. This terrain shaped a dispersed agricultural settlement pattern, where farms and rural infrastructure follow the level ground of features like Rainbow Valley and Cooke Valley. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial sites scattered throughout the area, such as Upper Montana Ridge Cemetery, Cooke Cemetery, and the East Bennett Valley Cemetery near the northern boundary.
