About this map

The rolling coulee landscape of Trempealeau County and Jackson County is defined here by a dense network of valley-bottom roads and upland ridges. The village of Pigeon Falls serves as a central hub, situated where Hegge Coulee meets the winding Pigeon Creek. The map records a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by several distinct burial grounds including the Hale Cem, Evangelical Cem, and Township Cem.

Conservation and recreation land is prominent in the north at the Tollefson Marsh State Wildlife Area and Wayside Park. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks such as Tomter Coulee, Steig Coulee, and Fuller Coulee, which illustrate the historical settlement patterns of the region. Industrial sites like the Shale Pit and Sandpits near Fitch Coulee indicate the local extraction of resources within this agricultural and woodland setting.
