1963 Map of Onalaska

About this map

Lake Onalaska and the Black River define the western edge of this 1963 landscape, where the waters meet the Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge. The terrain is characterized by a series of deeply etched coulees, including Long Coulee, Johnson Coulee, and Green Coulee, which dictate the placement of early rural infrastructure. Small agrarian clusters like Casberg and Sweden appear alongside a network of local education and faith-based landmarks, such as Maple Shade Sch and St Patricks Sch.
