About this map

Melvina sits at the heart of a landscape defined by deep-set drainages and agricultural valleys in Monroe County. The Little LaCrosse River meanders southward through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Sand Cr and Rullands Coulee Cr. This dendritic pattern of coulees and ridges has shaped the local road network, where routes often follow the high ground or the flat valley floors. Notable terrain features like Leon Valley, Pleasant Valley, and Steele Coulee illustrate the region's characteristic topography.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several significant landmarks, including the Union Cem near Melvina and the Pine Hollow Cem to the south. The map also detail small settlements such as Leon, Portland, and the northern edge of Cashton. These communities are connected by a web of county highways and local roads, including Co HWY X and Co HWY J, which navigate the complex elevation of Link Hill and various unnamed ridges.
