1983 Map of Melvina
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Leon Valley and the surrounding unglaciated uplands of Monroe County are depicted here as they appeared in the early 1980s. The settlement of Melvina sits along the Little La Crosse River, served by the Chicago and North Western rail line. The landscape is defined by its deep coulees and ridges, including Dixon Coulee, Steele Coulee, and Cannon Valley, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Edgewood Avenue. Local history is anchored by sites such as Union Cem and Portland Ch, while the Pinnacle Rock State Fishery Area highlights the conservation of the region's spring-fed waters near Pinnacle Rock. This survey documents a rural Wisconsin community where agriculture and topography remain deeply intertwined, evidenced by the numerous quarries and sandpits scattered across the townships of Leon, Wells, Portland, and Jefferson.
