2015 Map of Melrose

About this map

Melrose and the small settlement of Irving occupy the winding corridor of the Black River in this survey of western Wisconsin. The river's path is marked by numerous oxbow lakes and ponds, including Ketchum Lake, Horse Shoe Lake, and Shallow Lake, illustrating the dynamic nature of the waterway. To the north, the landscape rises into distinctive landforms such as Sugar Loaf and the surrounding Sugar Loaf Valley, which contrast with the agricultural flatlands of Cloverdale Valley. The map detail includes several named creeks that feed into the main river system, such as Trout Run, Roaring Cr, and Printz Cr. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Irving Cem is a key landmark located near the riverbank. This documentation of the area at the border of Jackson and Monroe counties provides a detailed look at the rural road network, including the path of Old 54 Rd and Co Hwy H.
