2015 Map of Modena

About this map

The Buffalo River carves a winding path through the heart of Buffalo County in this 2015 survey, defining a landscape of deeply etched bluffs and broad agricultural valleys. The small settlement of Modena sits at the junction of Tamarack Cr and Little Tamarack Cr, serving as a central point for the surrounding rural homesteads. This geography is characterized by numerous family-named landmarks and drainages, including Larson Valley, Hanson Valley, and the prominent Erickson Bluff in the north. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy settlements like Tell and Praag remain connected by a network of county roads. For genealogists and local historians, the proximity of Modena Cem to the town site and the variety of named valleys such as German Valley and Kissel Valley offer specific points of interest for tracing family landholdings in this part of Wisconsin.
