About this map

The Black River carves a winding path through this corner of Wisconsin, anchoring a landscape defined by its numerous coulees and narrow valleys. This late 1940s survey reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, where small community hubs like Melrose and Cataract are supported by an exceptional number of one-room schoolhouses, including Stark Valley Sch and Jenkins Valley Sch. The presence of churches such as Little Norway Ch and St Columbkille Ch reflects the early ethnic settlement patterns of Jackson and Monroe Counties.
