Saint Joseph Ridge dominates the center of this La Crosse County landscape, where the settlements of St. Joseph and Barre Mills serve as focal points for the surrounding rural communities. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, characterized by numerous named "coulees" — deep, narrow valleys common in this unglaciated portion of Wisconsin. These geographic features, such as Russian Coulee, Saint Joseph Coulee, and Krelbich Coulee, dictate the winding paths of local roads and the placement of farms.
