About this map

Tomah and Oakdale serve as the primary anchors for this 2016 survey of Monroe County. The landscape transitions from the developed eastern edge of the city into the steep, characteristic bluffs of the Driftless Area, marked by prominent elevations such as Camels Hump and Stone Bluff. The drainage patterns are well-defined by the Kickapoo River and Little Lemonweir River, which carve through the underlying topography to form Finucan Valley and Cold Spring Valley.

Transport and aviation history are evident at Bloyer Field, while local genealogy is grounded at the Oakdale Cem near the town center. The map reveals how the road network, including names like Hiawatha Ave and Juneberry Ave, navigates the complex terrain of Indian Ridge. This era shows a community balanced between its municipal growth and the preservation of its distinctive geological features like Council Creek Spring.
