About this map

Pickwick and Nodine anchor this 2013 topographically detailed study along the Mississippi River bluffs, where the state lines of Minnesota and Wisconsin meet. The landscape is defined by deep coulees and ridges, such as Husman Ridge and Pea Ridge, which separate the river valley from the upland farming communities. To the north, the river broadens into Lake Onalaska, while Richmond Island sits near the crossing of Us-14.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of the Hiler Cem and Lutheran Cem, as well as the naming of rural roads like New Hartford TWP 14 and Pleasant Hill TWP 6. The map captures a mix of traditional agriculture and recreational features, from the Southwind Orchards and South Wind Orchard Reservoir in the east to the Tremplo Fishing Float on the river. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region as it transitions from the blufflands down to the river bottoms.
