2022 Map of Menomonie South

About this map

The Red Cedar River carves a deep valley through this portion of Dunn County, anchoring a landscape where rural cemeteries and small settlements trace generations of local history. From the southern edge of Menomonie, the terrain follows the river downstream past Irvington to the community of Downsville. The conversion of old transportation corridors is evident in the Red Cedar State Trl, which mirrors the river's winding course through the valley. This 2022 survey provides significant genealogical data, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Saint Pauls Cem, Peace Cem, and Rosehill Cem that serve as land anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. Prominent geographic markers like The Pinnacle overlook the confluence of smaller tributaries, including Irving Cr and Little Elk Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early land use in the region.
