About this map

Lake Livingston dominates the western portion of this Polk County landscape, framing the peninsula-style growth of modern residential developments. The city of Onalaska serves as the primary hub, with its established residential grid including Magnolia Park and Idlewild Ests. To the east, the terrain becomes more dissected by a network of drainage systems like Sandy Cr and Manton Cr, which flow toward the reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds, including Wright Cem and Robinett Cem, alongside Saint Andrew Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary shoreline of the lake, showing how infrastructure like Cedar Point and West Tempe have adapted to the waterfront. Smaller interior water bodies like Mooney Lake and Crawford Lake provide a localized view of the hydrology before the land rises into the timbered tracts of the Piney Woods.
