About this map

Onalaska sits at the northern reaches of Lake Livingston, where the landscape is defined by the labyrinthine coves and peninsulas of the reservoir. This 2016 survey shows the developed residential fingers extending into the water, particularly around Cedar Point and the numerous named coves like Mulberry Cove and Yupon Cove. The terrain is deeply dissected by a network of creeks and branches, including Sandy Creek, Manton Creek, and Robinett Branch, which flow through the timbered tracts east of the main lake body.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped across the quadrangle, such as Saint Andrew Cemetery near the lake's edge and the more secluded Robinett Cemetery and Wright Cemetery further inland. The map also records the location of Mooney Lake and Crawford Lake, smaller water bodies that predate or sit adjacent to the massive reservoir project. Modern infrastructure is anchored by Highway 190, which bridges the expanse of Lake Livingston at the heart of the settlement.
