About this map

Lake Pepin dominates this river-valley landscape, serving as a natural border where the Rush River empties into the wide waters of the Mississippi. Along the Wisconsin shore, the village of Maiden Rock sits at the base of the bluffs, while Warrentown and the upper settlement of Salem occupy the higher ridges and coulees to the north. These coulees, including Morgan Coulee and Bremennington Coulee, define the drainage patterns of the Pierce County interior.

Across the water in Minnesota, the community of Old Frontenac is situated near Garrard Bluff and the curiously named Point-no-Point. The transportation network is anchored by Wi-35 hugging the eastern shoreline and the aviation facilities at Ottman Landing Airport and Frontenac Airport, reflecting the area's role as a transition point between the rugged bluff country and the surrounding agricultural plateaus.
