The transition from the Mississippi River floodplains to the deeply dissected coulee country of La Crosse County is captured in this mid-century survey. Onalaska occupies the river terrace, bounded by the wide expanse of Lake Onalaska and the Black River, while the inland landscape is defined by long, narrow valleys including Spring Coulee and Halfway Creek. The expansion of the city during the 1970s photorevision is visible in purple, showing suburban growth encroaching upon former agricultural lands and topographic features like Sugarloaf and Camel Hump.
