2022 Map of North Bend NE

About this map

The settlement of Franklin and the northern edge of Melrose define this modern Jackson County landscape, where the terrain transitions into a complex system of ridges and narrow valleys. Steep-sided coulees such as German Coulee and Sandberg Valley cut through the topography, reflecting a drainage pattern that feeds numerous small waterways including Trump Coulee Cr and the N Fork Beaver Cr. Local history is preserved in small landmarks like Morken Cem and Olson Cem, which sit alongside a network of rural routes such as Co Hwy N and Larkin Rd. Deep in the southern portion of the sheet, the landscape broadens into Red School Valley, while Cuffy Knob stands as a prominent topographical feature amidst the tributary networks of Woodward Cr and Black Slough. The distribution of these family-named roads and coulees provides a clear view of the longstanding land-use patterns in this part of Wisconsin.
